Lessons start next week.  Are you ready to go?  Get your fiddle out and dust off the case and review so we can hit the ground running.

The challenge is to play every day from your first day of lessons till the final performance in June.  Christmas day . . . your birthday . . . Halloween . . . Saturdays and Sundays . . .  There are so many benefits to playing every day and it gets easier for everyone to keep it going.  No arguing about when or where to play.  Songs are learned more easily and quickly.  Take as much time as you need, play one song today or play an hour.  Review songs are quickly and easily played though because perfect practice makes perfect.

Simply start the challenge on the day of your first lesson.  Get out your fiddle again at home and play.  Yes.  Every day, even lesson days.  Then every day after that get the violin out and play something or everything that you know.

So talk to your kids this weekend before lessons start.  The rewards to you as parents and me as the teacher are HUGE.  The reward to your kid at the final performance is a gift card for $50 to whichever store they choose.

The catch is . . . you must play EVERY DAY.  If even one day is missed the challenge is lost.  Keep track on a calendar.  Utkarsh has done this.  Rhea and Uma too.  Holden and Molly,  Varun and Shruthi, Emerson and Violet and many more.

Play every day and win!
