Student of the Month Criteria 2022 - 2023:
Students will be selected each month based on the application of the focuses and the quality of their practice.
It is all in the details.....make note of what I’m looking for and focus in your practice!
1. The student must achieve or exceed their daily practice goal each week for the entire month....remember that I can determine how much you’ve practiced by listening to your material. Practice everything that is assigned AND RECORD IN THE DESIGNATED BOXES IN ORDER FOR PRACTICE TO COUNT!
2. Use the Focus Month Chart to work extra hard on the topic of the month.
* How I award marks is at my discretion. It will include effort and the desire to improve and grow musically. Enthusiasm and attitude are included as well.
*The winners each month will be posted on the bulletin board in the waiting room as well as congratulated in the monthly newsletter.
