Five of the tasks in the Practicing category of the Piano Olympics include practice streaks. Students have the opportunity to earn points for three, seven, 14, 20, and 30 day streaks, which they’ll track in their Piano Olympics booklets. Simply fill in one of the bubbles with the date of each consecutive day that you practice.
What counts toward a streak:
Any day that you practice smartly to achieve a goal or improve something that you’re studying. There are no strict practice minute guidelines, and you don’t have to practice for exactly the same amount each day to keep a streak. The goal is to build a sustainable, realistic habit of daily improvement.
What breaks a streak:
Forgetting to or deciding not to practice.
What doesn’t break a streak:
If you’re out of town or on vacation and can’t practice.
If you’re very sick and unable to practice.
If you don’t have time to practice on a special holiday like Yom Kippur, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.
If a practice session doesn’t go as well as you wanted (use that as a learning experience!).
