Pirate Themed Practice Event
February 2018

Each week, students earned a gold coin to put in their treasure chest on the wall, as seen below. At the end of the three week challenge, students who collected all three coins earned their own treasure chest full of loot as a reward! We had a 100% completion rate this year! Way to go, everyone!

Rockin' the Practice!
February 2017

We rocked the practicing this year with our practice incentive event! After completing each weeks' task, the students moved their star to a different location; starting from a humble coffee shop and ending up at Radio City Music Hall! Once they reached the final week, the "Parent Paparazzi" caught pictures of each of our rock stars practicing at home, which we posted on the Wall of Stars. Each student who completed all of the tasks earned a rockin' prize for all of their hard work! 

E-Fish-ent Practice Event
​February 2016

This year's incentive program was called E-FISH-ent Practice! For three weeks, students were sent home with practice challenges. For each sheet that was completed, students got to add a fish to their baggie in our studio "Fish Pond." If, by the end of the event, they had 3 fishies in their bag, they earned a prize. They were also entered into a drawing to win the grand prize - a real fish in a bowl! Congratulations to Carson who was the winner of the fish!

Wild West Practice Event
​January 2015

All students who freed themselves from WANTED status by completing the 4 week program earned a Reward, and their name was also entered into a drawing to win one of two grand prizes. Congratulations to Caroline who won an iTunes gift card, and to Tyler who won a gift card for movie tickets!

There's an app for that!
February 2013

Picture
Our first ever studio incentive program was called "There's an app for that!" Students worked to meet 8 different goals. Each time a task was successfully completed, they received a special app icon to collect on their personal "Piano Phone" template! Those who completed their Piano Phones in the allotted time frame received their choice of a coupon for a free ice cream cone or a free cupcake! ​
