  Case: Motivational Strategies in the Music Classroom
My eighth grade acoustic guitar players are in a bit of a motivational slump. Many of them take private lessons, however, there are fresh beginners in both of my eighth grade courses. Therefore, while teaching beginners basic chords and scales, I have more advanced students working on high-level finger patters and strumming techniques. How can I keep the higher level students motivated during group work while I address the lower-level beginners during the same class period?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Could you allow the higher level students to create their own song, or create a song as a group using the new techniques, patterns, etc. You could also have a reward system in place where they can earn something for accomplishing a new technique etc.
