We have come up with a rewards program for all of our students. The aim of this program is to encourage our students to practice regularly and come to their class ready and prepared. Our students will be given a point, also known as a "Gimme" if they reach their daily practice goal, reach their weekly bonus practice and/or bring their music journal, music book/ display file and instrument (if applicable). All they need to do is remember to bring their books and equipment and fill out their Practice Log every week and have a parent sign it.
