Points Mean Prizes Update.

Points mean prizes is going really well! Pupils ( adults as well as children) are enjoying being rewarded for their efforts and their skills, and good piano practice habits are being built. Just a quick plea to parents to remind and encourage practice, and to sign when 5 days or more has been done. You could email me if you forget.

I was delighted to award the first certificates for 20 points and 2 prizes for 25 points

this week. These pupils practise for 5 or 6 days each week, regularly complete listening sheets, memorise their pieces and read their practice diaries diligently. Well done Joely, Charlie, Amelia and Oliver! I look forward to awarding many more after the half term break!
