BAND BUCKS! Extrinsic Motivators for Beginning Band *3 Sizes, 5 Composers*

This BAND BUCKS resource features the following five composers:

*Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

*Johann Sebastian Bach

*John Philip Sousa

*Percy Grainger

*Gustav Holst

The Band Bucks for each composer come in three different sizes – SMALL (24 to a page), MEDIUM (10 to a page) and LARGE (2 to a page) - in both COLOR and B&W (grayscale). Each dollar says “One Band Buck” across the top and “In Music We Trust” across the bottom, and they all have a treble clef and a bass clef on either side of the featured composer.

These Band Bucks can make wonderful EXTRINSIC MOTIVATORS to encourage students to practice and can significantly help students in overcoming some of the beginning band hurdles by providing a little extra motivation. Just print, cut out and distribute! You can hand them out when students accomplish goals, come to class prepared, demonstrate outstanding leadership, or anything else that deserves recognition. Students also love the competitive element and will work hard to become wealthy with band bucks!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Select the page with the band bucks of the desired size and print in COLOR or B&W. If you’re going to make double-sided copies (which looks great, as having the image on both sides makes the band buck look even more like an authentic dollar bill!) it works best in my experience to print out two single-sided copies, then use the 1 —> 2 function to scan/print. You may then use a paper cutter to trim edges, with up to five pages at a time, depending on the quality of the paper cutter.

I like to hand these out when students are proficient at performing specific songs, sections of songs, scales, and exercises, etc. I tell them which songs will earn them one dollar, and it provides them with specific goals and provides an added incentive to practice.

I recommend building up a “Band Store” with band supplies and fun items including reeds, cork grease, pencils, erasers, stickers, etc. Music in Motion (catalog) is a great source for building up a band store with incentivizing items such as the ones referenced above. You can decide how much each store item is worth based on how generous you are with the band bucks and how much funding you have available to stock up your store.
