1 Aren t the Olympics exciting?! I love how they bring people together across nations to recognize and celebrate hard work, excellence, and achievement. These are things I want to celebrate in my students! So, inspired by this year s Winter Olympics and drawing on the symbol pictured above, I created a piano festival based on five key aspects of musicianship: Blue Sight-Reading Gold Memorization + Performance Black Aural Skills (clap-backs, sing-backs, play-backs) Green Creativity (improvisation, composition) Red Technique This festival is based on a series of weekly events students will have the opportunity to choose which events they would like to train for and participate in. My goal is to focus on one ring at a time, for teaching efficiency and to keep students from getting overwhelmed. Together, we will choose events (2-3 per category); I will give students practice materials to take home so they can prepare for the events. Most events are designed to take place in the lessons. Once students successfully complete the required number of events for a given category, they will earn that Olympic ring. After all rings have been earned, the student will receive a certificate of achievement and perhaps a small prize for participating. This packet includes event listings for each category and helpful resources for facilitating them for Preparatory A, Preparatory B, and Level 1 students (based on the levels of the Royal Conservatory of Music s Music Development Program). Let the Games begin! ashley
