Piano PointsHalf way through the first term of running piano points, 
Total points leaders on February 19th are as follows:

  1. Sophia from St. Werburgh’s,  Alice from Tattenhall Park, Rebecca and Huw from CCHS are all on 20 points
  2. Katherine from Upton Heath and Lucie from CCHS are both on 18 points.
  3. Alison from Upton Heath and Emily from Tattenall Park are both on 17 points.

Average points leaders (all on 4 points) are Mollie from St. Oswald’s, Sophia and Bella from St. Werburgh’s and Alice from Tattenhall Park.

42% of the 62 students are on 14 or more points which is half of the target number of points for the term.

Piano PointsI have decided to update the piano points awards system slightly to take into account that students at some schools may have had fewer lessons through no fault of their own. (pantomimes permitting – thanks to Mollie for pointing this out!)

In respect of this point I will publish a league for average points per lesson as well as total points and there will be prizes for both the highest average points and the highest total points.

All students who achieve the termly points target (28 points – based on an average of 2.3 points per lesson over 12 lessons) will get a certificate.

Piano PointsAfter the first month of operating my piano points system for all school age students I have decided to publish the top 9 points scorers on a leader board.

Remember that points are awarded for practising, attending your lessons and putting lots of effort into achieving your targets rather than on skill level!

Points leaders as of 30/01/09:

  1. Alice from Tattenhall Park with 16 points.
  2. Huw from CCHS and Sophie from Queen’s, joint second with 14 points
  3. Rebecca from CCHS with 13 points
  4. Bella and Sophia from St. Werburgh’s, Louisa from Queen’s, Jacob from EPCHS; are all joint fourth place on 12 points.

There are currently 62 students on the league table. 55% have 9 points or more which is comfortably on target at this stage in the term.

Piano Points

I’d like to take this oppurtunity to wish all my students and readers a Happy New Year.

Piano lessons resume this week from Wednesday (7th Jan), so those who have lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays will start again next week (12th and 13th Jan).

I have found a new email newsletter service provider and if you are not already subscribed then just put your email address in the box at the top left hand side of the blog or on the front page of my main website.

This year I have introduced a ‘piano points’ rewards policy to encourage practise. It will be explained at your next lesson or you can download a leaflet here or by clicking on the piano image.

Watch out for the next edition of the podcast, which will be published in the next couple of weeks.
