March MUSIC Madness

For the month of March, I'm challenging my students to listen to 15 minutes of piano music every day. I've copied my original email below. Feel free to join in and check out my Spotify playlist! You won't be disappointed! :)

Dear Parents of Students,

One of my classmates inspired me to join her in a musical version of "March Madness." This is how it works: I'm challenging all my students to listen to fifteen minutes of piano music every day throughout the month of March. I'm committing to listen right along with you all! Listen on your commute or while you're getting ready for school.

I've compiled a Spotify playlist for your easy access. It totals to just under seven hours of phenomenal piano music - many standard classics and some of my personal favorites. (In case you're wondering about the math, 15 minutes for 30 days actually equals nearly 8 hours so I've cut you some slack. :)

You will need a Spotify account to access the playlist. Account registration is free; just know you may have the occasional commercial interruption. You can access the playlist through the web or by downloading the desktop or app version. I'm sure many of you already have it!

I've attached a calendar for easy record-keeping. Please print it out and have your student keep it in his/her binder. I would love to offer a musical reward/incentive, so I'll keep you posted. :)

Thank you for partnering with me on this! Click the hyperlink to access the playlist: March MUSIC Madness. It is listened under the account user "jessicawelshpiano."

Let me know if you have any questions! Happy listening!
