Abstract
A method of music instruction can comprise a system in which students receive a different colored wristband upon completing various intervals of training. Each wristband can provide a sense of accomplishment to the student and provide an incentive for the student to continue his/her training. Students can receive the first wristband upon completing three months of lessons, and a different wristband after completing each three-month interval thereafter until reaching eighteen months. After eighteen months, a different wristband can be awarded at each six-month interval until completing thirty-six months of lessons. Students can also receive certificates and trophies in tandem with the wristbands upon completing certain intervals of training.
