Larissa Humphries (a cello teacher friend) puts on these Summer Contests with her mom Stephanie Hinckley (my piano teacher friend). Such a great idea!

First you look at what technical challenges your students may be having, gaps in their learning, things they need to work on.

Second, choose a theme and think of 7 musical projects they could do on their own. Some easier than others.

Larissa wants to also mention that she tells the students they are working toward the grand prize, she doesn't share that they only have to complete 5 out of 7. That gives her the flexibility to see if 4 out of 7 is enough work for some grand prizes to be awarded.

Remember to choose themes and projects that work for YOU in YOUR studio, these are ideas that worked for Larissa in hers.

Also check out last week's episode 90 for a repost of more summer ideas including groups, camps, and creative ideas.

Maybe this will be the best, most musical summer ever!
