  1. Check Your Spam Folder: Make sure to regularly check your spam folder for emails from the Conservatory. Important updates about the challenge, including your daily log links and notifications, might end up there!

  2. Print the Practice Calendar: Download and print the practice calendar. Place it somewhere visible near your practice area—like taping it to the wall above your piano. This will help you keep track of your daily practice goals and accomplishments. Alternatively, you may also log your practice in the Student Portal.

  3. Share Your Progress: Engage with our community by sharing your practice journey on Facebook and Instagram. Tag us on our socials below and use #SCCMpracticechallenge. Research suggests that people who publicly commit to their goals have up to a 65% chance of achieving them. When you involve friends or family, your chances of success increase even more.
