Welcome back to my series on student motivation. The first post shared thoughts on motivating students by creating structure, and the second discussed motivating students by achieving short term & daily goals. This time we're looking at a few of the long term motivation factors. The two I'd like to touch on are programming and high profile performances. Programming strategically helps the students grow musically on a daily and long term basis (helping to create intrinsic motivation) while preparing for high profile performances can motivate them to achieve new heights of musical excellence.
