I've been away from my students for a few days while I attended a conference. Since I don't really know what (or how) they've been playing while I was away, I want to do an activity to reinforce good behavior and good practice.
I just designed this game called ORCHESTRA STARS. In this game, the 'heart' icons are lives and students lose them if they are plucking or playing out of turn. It's a fun way to reinforce proper rehearsal protocols if you have students who ever play when they are not supposed to... :) Students earn bonus points (stars) for playing with proper posture and with quality intonation.
