P.O.G.O. Sticks are a new and unique way to remember to practice. It's easy to stick these anyplace, like on your piano right in front of
your nose! I stick them on my student's foreheads, and then they have fun sticking them somewhere that they would see them at home.
The students who have trouble OPENING THEIR NOTEBOOK during the week really liked that they would stick somewhere easy to
see. Some have used it as their bookmark.

Do you know what P.O.G.O. stands for? The students have come up with some very clever words for the abbreviation. Some of their
slogans have been "Practice On, Great One”, “Pursue Only Gorgeous Opus”, “Practice Overcomes Giant Obstacles”, “Post-its Or
Green Ogre-teachers, (you pick!)” “Patience Overcomes, Get Original!"

But the teachers will know the truth. It's "Practice Or Get Out". That's too funny-I still can't say it without laughing.

Here are the latest testimonials:

*

Well, Mrs. Wolf, these have really motivated me. I realized I hadn't practiced in two days when I got back to the piano. So I made up
the minutes by practicing longer the rest of the days in the week. They are really helping me achieve my goal of a 15 piece guild audition.”
Mackenzie F. student at Wolf Piano Studio

“I just had to email you this. My student came back this week and told me that these had `inspired him to practice harder'. He said, “I
want to be a WOW this week”. What a compliment! Betsy M.

“By the way, my students enjoyed the POGOs …one said "it kinda made me want to practice more"...I thought that was pretty sweet!

"I can't tell you how motivating these have been for my students!  I bought
a very cool "Treasure Box"  and filled it with weird little things from the
dollar store.  Then when student gets FOUR perfect POGOs, he/she gets to
choose something from the treasure box as a reward.  It has made SUCH a
happier spring for MOI since my students have been practicing more.  Thanks
SO much."
Your Happier Than Usual MMTA President, Marianne Bryan

“We [my students and I] were all impressed by the practice requirements. It has really stepped up their work habits. Jefferson in
particular, just ate these up! Unfortunately he's my dog, so I need more please.”
