BINGO with the STUDIO!
A game to encourage practice and participation through the summer months

This summer, June through August, we're playing BINGO with our students! All students of MATR are encouraged to participate; everyone will get their own BINGO board on the wall of the studio. Each box of the square contains something you or your child can do this summer, from attending group classes, to remembering to bring a pencil to each lesson, to painting a picture to hang up on the studio wall.
For each row or column you fill out, the student will receive a $5 gift card to Michael's, Barnes & Noble, Joann, Shar Music, or Music & Arts. If you manage to complete the whole board, you'll get a $50 gift card, and a free lesson!
BINGO begins this Wednesday, June 1, 2022, and ends on September 1, 2022. If you have any questions, ask away!
- Attend the Bowhold Masterclass: This group class will be on June 18 at 1 PM.
- Maintain a Practice Journal for 30 Days: All students will be provided a practice journal if they don't already keep one, and the 30 days don't need to be consecutive, they just need to be during the summertime!
- Set a Goal and Accomplish It: This is something we do every day, in our practice. Just articulate the goal to your teacher in a lesson, then demonstrate that you've accomplished it the following week.
- Attend the Chamber Music Masterclass: This group class will be on July 16 at 1 PM.
- Listen to the Music Everyday: This is something you should be doing anyways, to keep the music in your ears!
- Draw/Paint a Picture for the Studio Wall: Exactly what it sounds like. Make sure you sign your work!
- Attend the American Music Masterclass: This group class will be on July 2 at 1 PM
- Attend 12 lessons During the Summer: It's easy to slack off during the summer, and not come to lessons- but music is a physical and mental workout, so you have to maintain it throughout the year!
- Bring Your Pencil to Every Lesson: You should be doing this anyways.
- Play a Performance: If you're playing in the studio recital on Thursday, congrats, you'll have this square filled automatically! If not, speak with your teacher about finding another performance opportunity this summer.
- Refer a Friend to the Studio: Simply tell a friend about the studio, and if they take a lesson at the studio, not only is their first lesson free AND you get to fill this square, you ALSO get a free lesson out of it!
- Tag the Studio in a Post on Social Media: We're on both Facebook and Instagram (@musicofthetworivers). Simply make a post about your child's studies, and be sure to tag us!
- Practice Every Day: This is in the free square slot because obviously you should be practicing every day- even if you only have a moment to run through everything!
- Master a New Scale: Ask your teacher about this one, and practice your scales every day; when you've mastered one, you'll know, and so will your teacher!
- Attend the Book 1 Masterclass: This group class will be on July 30 at 1 PM.
- Attend a Concert: ANY KIND of concert, as long as there's music, it counts! Just be sure to bring us the program, and snap a selfie at the event!
- Memorize a Piece: You should be memorizing all of your pieces anyways, so this one should be easy.
- Attend the Twinkle Masterclass: This group class will be on June 4 at 1 PM.
- Follow the Studio on Facebook and/or Instagram: This is easy! Just follow us, and show it off at your next lesson. (This is really for moms and dads!)
- Record Your Lesson and Watch it at Home: Take your phone or other recording device and record a lesson and watch the recording at home, and see if it helps in your practice.
- Attend the Performance Anxiety Masterclass: This group class will be on August 27 at 1 PM.
- Attend a Drop In Practice Session: The studio is open 3-8 PM on weekdays. Drop in when you're free, and practice with me! Remember, you can do this at any time, at no extra cost to you. If someone's having a lesson at the time you drop in, you can observe their lesson instead!
- Write a Song: You can write it down or just keep it in your head, but play a song that you wrote at your next lesson.
- Attend the Book 2 Masterclass: This group class will be on August 13 at 1 PM.
- Name Your Violin: I think this is self explanatory.
And that's it! Please note that every row and column contains at least 1 group class, so you will have to attend at least one in order to complete enough to earn a reward. Have a great summer!
