Habit: use Gamification to set up good habits

Gamification is a way to add game mechanics where it is not usually there. For instance, adding points, badges, performance graphs to sport workout. It adds some playful and fun feature. You may have already experienced it yourself in apps, or websites, without knowing it.

For music learning, it could be a great motivational feature.

Creating the habit of playing and rehearsing 5 days a week or more can seem easy at first glance. But you often need a small boost.

Let's say that you tell your kid that each day scores one point if he practices 15 min, and 2 points if he practices an extra 15 minutes (max. 2 points par day).

Let him write himself on a notepad or on a board.

You'll see he's going to have fun doing it, it will bring incentives for him to start to play.

Pay attention to the holidays, it's easy to give up on these good habits!!!

Add that to other way to motivate your kid mentioned here, and you are on the path of great practice routines.

Habit: trigger, cues, gratification
