Each year my studio participates in what is called "The 100 Day Contest". It is the BEST time of the year. During this time, students and parents work together to practice for 100 days in a row. We gain so much during this time. It is always so rewarding! Here is a quick list of what we accomplish:
1. We move twice the distance in our books than we do the rest of the year.
2. We gain a lot of playing confidence.
3. We perform flawlessly.
4. Our ability to play "musically" is enhanced greatly.
5. We look forward to coming to our lessons - because we are highly prepared.
6. We are excited to show the teacher what we did during the week.
7. The teacher is excited to see us and work with our quick development.
8. Our parents are thrilled and do their best to help us fit our schedule around practice.
9. We perform when our current ability is "peaking".
10. We never forget the positive bond we create with our instrument and teacher.
*Besides all of that; we get to "party" it up afterwards at a studio dinner at a favorite restaurant where teacher pays the bill!
*Parents also keep their end of the bargain by rewarding student with whatever was "agreed" upon at home. (FUN FUN FUN)
Love you all! ...and Love the 100 Day Contest! -- see you at the end!

It was a great experience last year. Zane really did learn quickly, practicing every day. Of course, the reward at the end is the best! He's been talking about it all year. Thanks Rebecca, this is a great idea.
Sounds great! We can't wait to be apart of it!
Three down, 97 to go! The 100-day event is truly a great motivator and it is fun to see the progress and the sense of accomplishment and confidence. Thanks, Rebecca!
Sounds awesome we are ready to do it!
Coolio. What a great idea...now if I could just figure out a good parent reward. Then again, maybe the mystery of it all will keep her even more motivated : )
I look forward to the increased progress that Allison makes through participating in the 100 day contest. Thanks for the challenge!
Sounds Great!
