SummerBingoRecital season is upon us and then it’s summer time! Are you taking a break to go on vacation? With two family weddings, our summer is going to very busy this year. As I was brainstorming ways to encourage my students to practice over their break I remembered how much they loved our Olympic Bingo. So I thought why not try it again?

So today I’m sharing my summer bingo with you! If you have questions about any activities I’ve added, please feel free to ask me in the comments below. A few explanations are below:

  • The craziest assignment is to perform on an outdoor piano but our city has a painted one (it doesn’t sound that great) in front of one of the city buildings that I’ll point out.
  • Technique sheets refer to my studio technique levels (like this beginner one).
  • Composition and notation are included – check out our Composition Technology posts for ideas on programs to use to help students notate and record their pieces.
  • For our annual popular music jam, my students will learn pop songs or Disney songs. It’s a great way to mix it up during the summer!
  • Our studio’s YouTube Summer Duet Playlist is a collection of all awesome duets. Know of any videos you like that aren’t on here? We’d love to add to it so let me know!
