Practice Trophies and Other Practice Ideas

Practice Trophies: Below are just a few of the more recent students who have earned a practice trophy.  You are always welcome to join this program.  100 days of practice in a row.  200 days in a row is a bigger trophy.  1 year is even bigger.  Karaly Carter had six years when she was involved in Suzuki Strings.  

If traveling or instrument in danger you may listen to professional recordings instead of actual on instrument practice.

If ill then again listening to professional recordings will count.

You may prefer your own family trophy plan, perhaps six days a week for four months.  
You can get trophies at Gem Awards.

Play for Seniors:  Emerald Pointe and Kolob both enjoy having music available for dinner music or other events.  Call to schedule in advance.  Sharing your music with neighbors, family, and friends is a great gift of your time and talents.

Be a Movie Star:  Take a video every six months of a polished piece.  You will be able to document your progress and then you can share with family and friends.  Right after String Festival is a good time because the pieces are polished and the pressure is off.

Have a Practice Buddy:  Review, try some duets, and enjoy making music together.  My daughter and her friend had a cello duo which played for community events.  Both of my children had string quartets which performed regularly and I have been in a string quartet for nearly 30 years.

Look for Community Performance Opportunities:  We have played for business open houses, wedding receptions, dinners, family reunions, OSU lobby music, and in community recitals.  For those under 18 there is the Groovekids performance in June and applications will be available in April.
