Practice for Peace
Get your music group or classroom involved.
Getting your students or group involved in Practice for Peace is not only a wonderful way to help war-traumatized children; it’s also a fantastic way to motivate your musicians to practice daily. Also, each person in your group who raises over $100 will receive a free Shropshire Music Foundation t-shirt. Just follow the steps below to get started.
STEP 1:
Download the Practice for Peace Group Kit (PDF) with a Program Overview, a Pledge Form, and a Daily Practice Log to copy for each person.
STEP 2:
Introduce your group to the Shropshire Music Foundation and the Practice for Peace program by downloading and showing this quick video. (To download, right click on the link and select "save target as.") You can also click here for the YouTube version.
STEP 3:
Send your group out to find sponsors (family, friends, neighbors, teachers) who will pledge a certain amount for each minute of practice during the month of November. Suggested amounts - pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters.
STEP 4:
Have each person record practice minutes daily during November on the Daily Practice Log.
STEP 5:
Have each person tally up his or her practicing minutes and collect their pledges during the first week of December.
