Musical Ladder Begins May, 2025
We are almost complete getting all students entered into the system! You will receive communication soon about next steps!
All students will enter the program - “be on the ladder” - effective April 30, 2025, accruing the number of months and/or years since they began taking consecutive lessons. (All students will be included, but any student can opt out of the program, as desired.)
The Musical Ladder System will reward students with certificates, wrist bands, and trophies based on certain longevity and milestone achievements along their musical journey and development.
Similar to karate belt tests, every three months or so your teacher will schedule a meaningful test, in-lesson performance, small project, or other development milestone for you or your child. When the student reaches their longevity milestone and completes/passes their test they will receive a really cool wristband for their level. They also get a certificate of achievement. At certain levels they will also receive a personalized trophy with their name on it.
We know this program will bring smiles to parents and students and we're very excited about enhancing your music lesson experience.
More information and details will be presented about the Musical Ladder System over the coming weeks.
