Musicianship Monthly: Summer Edition

My "Musicianship Monthly" series will be taking a bit of a hiatus this summer--however, I wanted to share a fun way to help your students keep those musicianship skills fresh, even if they aren't attending regular lessons! (Want to learn more about Musicianship Monthly and see past activities? Click HERE!)

Click "read more" to see my free summer review challenge calendars, which feature one short, piano-related challenge for each day in June, July, and August!
​

I've been creating these summer review calendars for the past few years now, and they are always a hit! The challenges range from reviewing a favorite piece, to playing a piece by ear, to listening to a piano piece by a well-known composer....and more! Each challenge is designed to be done in ten minutes or less.

Use these as supplemental activities for students who are continuing with lessons, or challenge students who are taking a break over the summer to complete as many of the challenges as they can before lessons resume in the fall!

I really like these! Have you done a calendar like this for other months? I won't be able to use this during the summer but would love to do something like this for the fall. I might just have to make my own!

I have only made these challenge calendars for the summer months, but you are welcome to adapt them to use with your students for other months of the year!
