At Morgan Piano School each student earns a practice star on the practice chart for five days or more of piano practice per week. After earning ten stars the student wins a prize.

 

MTNA's Music Achievement Award Program helps to encourage students to continue their music studies and to strive to achieve goals that not only help them become better musicians, but that also will enhance their love and appreciation of music. The teacher sets goals that are both realistic and attainable for each individual student according to the student's needs, ability and motivational level. The student achieves the goals over a specified period of time (usually 12 weeks). Students completing this program are rewarded for their achievement with a special MTNA award. While the true reward is the student's musical achievements and enhanced love of music, a beautiful award is a fitting symbol of the accomplishment.

 

Similar to the house competition in the famous Harry Potter series, four teams of Morgan Piano School students compete for musical points during the seasonal house competition. Each student receives a list of musical activities that he can do to win points for his team. Famous composers and musicians are heads of house. The house cup bears the name of the winning team, and each winning team member gets a prize. The house competition teaches students to value musical activities such as: going to concerts, listening to musical recordings, memorizing pieces, performing, working on musical projects, reading books about music, composing, etc.

 

 

Morgan Piano School always strives to motivate students individually based on their life interests, personalities and learning styles.
