One of my favorite "end of the school year" activities is to help my students create a repertoire list of their very favorite pieces from the past year. It really gives students a sense of accomplishment to see all of the fun music they have learned how to play!

This is also a great activity for students who will be taking a break from lessons over the summer, as it gives them lots of pieces that they know well that they can continue to review and share with friends and family over their break.

Today I am sharing two free "Repertoire Challenge" coloring pages that you can use with your students this summer, too! Have your students write in the names of their favorite pieces, then color the page each time they review their repertoire. How many colors can they add to their page by the end of the summer?
