Piano iPhone Challenge

Piano iPhone Challenge

Cindy’s Piano Studio students recently participated in a Piano iPhone Challenge.  What is a Piano iPhone Challenge?  Students had to work for one month to earn as many of the eight available APPS as they could.  Some APPS were accomplished during the month at the lessons and some were done during weekly home practice sessions.  The eight APPs were:
1.      Practice nine days in a row – tough one but a few students did accomplish this one.
2.      Compose a short piece
3.      Hold a mini recital at home
4.      Memorize two pieces
5.      Complete four theory assignments
6.      Sightread four pieces – that means they play a piece correctly the first time.
7.      Ear Training – The teacher plays two examples on the piano and they chose which was played.
8.      Complete three pieces from their lesson book


Of the nine participating students, Ava Crist and Sarah Quadt received all eight APPs.  Carling Lockwood received seven.  The other participating students were: MB, April and Lily Gustafson, Aaron and Courtney Jung, and Jack Lingenfelter.

You are one tough teacher, but these lessons will last a lifetime! Congrats to the winners and to those who tried. And most of all to the brain-child who inspired it all.
