Guidelines:

The idea is to set yourself the challenge of practising a hundred days in a row. Mark off the days (with

checkmarks, stickers, stamps or colours) one by one until you have practised one hundred days in a

row. If you miss, you have two choices. You can start over again, or you can choose to “double up”,

doing two complete practicings one day to “pay back” the chart.

This includes lesson days and group class days as well as “regular days”. You don’t have to worry about

days when you are sick in bed or are travelling and don’t have access to your instrument, but all the rest

should count. However, since life is not always the same day to day, there is room for some exceptions.

Let’s say Uncle Fred and Aunt Sally and your eight cousins arrive for a visit and everyone plans to

spend tomorrow at the ski hill. Normally you practice 45 minutes or an hour a day, but everyone is

leaving right after breakfast and won’t be back until after dark. Here’s what you can do. Get up a tiny

bit early and before breakfast, spend a bit of time on each part of your lesson assignment. Although you

may only practice a few minutes, you can still count that day.

If you use this chart you will soon find it easier and easier to practice every day. That’s the whole idea.

What do you suppose will happen to your progress? What do you think will happen to your feelings

about your instrument? Do you think your “practice partnership” with your parent will change at all?

Let’s find out!
