At Peak Music Academy, we believe in not only nurturing musical talent but also rewarding dedication and hard work. That's why we've introduced an exciting incentive program that adds an extra layer of motivation to your musical journey.
๐ถMusic Bucks: Practice Pays Off
Imagine getting rewarded for doing what you love – playing music! With our Music Bucks system, every practice session and completed assignment in the Better Practice App earns you Music Bucks. These currency points can be redeemed for a variety of exciting rewards, turning your commitment to improvement into tangible benefits. The Music Buck store will open the last week of each month! You can buy or save your bucks.
๐ถCharms: Master the Art with Technique
We understand that mastering the technical aspects of music is crucial for any musician. That's why we introduce Charms, a recognition system for achieving key milestones in your Peery certification. Completing your technique cycle and foundational skills not only enhances your musical abilities but also earns you these exclusive Charms, symbolizing your dedication to musical excellence.
๐ถPins: Wear Your Achievements Proudly
Pins are more than just accessories; they're a testament to your musical accomplishments. Earn different pins by successfully completing Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced repertoire requirements. These pins become a visual representation of your progress, a journey marked by your dedication and growth as a musicia0n. And if you've been with the Academy for five years, don't forget to grab your High Five pin – a prestigious emblem of your enduring commitment to Peak Music Academy.
A Note for Parents: Savings with Commitment
At Peak Music Academy, we understand the importance of a supportive community in fostering musical talent. That's why we've introduced an exclusive incentive for parents that aligns with our commitment to creating a rewarding musical journey for your child.
๐ถParental Incentive: Practice Pays Off for Everyone
We recognize the vital role parents play in supporting their child's musical education. To express our gratitude and encourage continuous commitment, we're excited to introduce a special incentive exclusively for parents. If your child practices consistently – six days a week – for an entire semester, you, as a parent, will receive a 10% discount off the tuition for the following semester.
๐ถHow It Works
๐ถA Win-Win Situation
This incentive is not just about financial savings; it's about fostering a sense of achievement and discipline in your child's musical journey. By instilling consistent practice habits, you not only contribute to their musical growth but also enjoy the added benefit of savings on tuition. It's a win-win situation that emphasizes the collaborative effort between parents, students, and Peak Music Academy.
๐ถJoin the Melody of Savings
At Peak Music Academy, we believe in creating a harmonious environment where everyone involved in the musical journey feels valued and rewarded. Incentives provide a way to say thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to your or your child's musical development.
Enroll your child at Peak Music Academy, where the notes of dedication and harmony are recognized, celebrated, and rewarded!
