To encourage students to practice, I have handed out Pumpkin Practice Punch Cards. All Royle string students in grades 3-5 are encouraged to practice their music on a daily basis and color in one of the pumpkins on their card.
The goal for the third grade beginner strings is to practice for 10 minutes a day for 10 days.
The goal for the fourth and fifth grade Orchestra students is to practice for 15 minutes a day for 7 days OR a total of 105 minutes.
