The Treasure Rewards Program

The Treasure Rewards Program is a way to make kids LOVE their music lessons! Kids earn gold coins and diamonds during lessons and save them up in a small treasure box with their name on it (which are all stored in the piano bench). Then at certain times, the student is allowed to cash in their earned treasure for different prizes from inside the treasure rewards chest!

     Rewards include: Toys, stickers, decals, temporary tattoos, art supplies, and always more cool new stuff
  
     Cost = $5 extra (per 5 lessons) *optional*


 Benefits of the Treasure Rewards Program

USE TO MAKE REPETITION FUN 
I use the coins as extra payment to make the boring stuff fun! 

Example:
     Before the coins:
          Me: Do you want to play this scale 10 times?
          Student: Um, no...
     After the coins:
         Me: How many times do you want to play this scale for 1 coin each time?
         Student: I'm going to play it until you have no coins left!!

CREATES POSITIVE ASSOCIATION WITH MUSIC
The reward system creates a positive association in developing brains, which makes kids love coming to music lessons and thereby helps stimulate their interest and enjoyment in playing music! 

FINE THE RULE BREAKERS!
The reward system also makes it easy to handle kids when they break rules - I just fine them 5 coins and they stop breaking rules right away! :-P
The rules list is located on the wall above the piano for easy reference, and the #1 rule during lessons is "No playing music when I'm talking.".

IMPROVE MATH SKILLS AND FINANCIAL SAVING SKILLS
This is a great lesson in math and financial savings for kids too. They have to calculate how much their treasure is worth because there are 4 different coins/gems worth different amounts (listed below). Then when purchasing any items, they must pay for it by counting out the correct amount (I will help if needed). Also the kids can learn financial saving skills by saving up their treasure points to purchase some of the higher price items!

CURRENCY AMOUNTS
   1 = Gold coin
   10 = small white diamond
   50 = large colored diamond
   100 = black obsidian diamond
