Cash Prizes for Practicing

I hope that you are excited about the practice challenge. The challenge starts November 1st and ends December 31st. Griffin Violin Studio's current students that take on this challenge can win $$$(CASH PRIZES)$$$ based on the point system. Be sure to speak to your student about this challenge and help to motivate them. Remember that to be counted videos must be uploaded to my Dropbox on the day the practice is done. 

Here are the prizes based on the point system:

2016+:  $100

1728-2015 Points: $75

1440-1727 Points: $50

1152-1439 Points: $25

864-1151 Points: $20

576-863 Points: $15

286-575 Points: $10


I’m so excited about this challenge and can’t wait to see the results. I will be tracking our student's progress daily and posting weekly results on my website. The cash prize is a great motivation. But really, the best prize will be the progress that students will make by practicing.


Happy Practicing!

GVS Student Practice Challenge!!!

Exciting News! Starting November 1st until December 31st Griffin Violin Studio is holding a PRACTICE CHALLENGE. I’m still working out details but wanted to get a notice out to you ASAP. Here are the details that I do know:

** There will be prizes/awards (still determining what the prizes will be).

** To participate, students need to video themselves practicing. Upload practice videos to my Dropbox Link (https://www.dropbox.com/request/DCHwFk0aJktcmYKndI59​).

** Students that practice with the metronome and/or MakeMusic (previously SmartMusic) will get extra points. If your student doesn’t have an account with MakeMusic ask me about it. There is a link with more information and my class code on the Resource section of my website.

That is what I know at this point. I will mention this to students in our upcoming lessons, but please talk to your student about it ASAP so you can get started. Early submissions will be accepted. I’ll let you know more details as this challenge develops.

Happy Practicing!
