*Some students submitted practice times in the afternoon. These were not included in their morning minute counts. However, these minutes still earned them their usual Bach Bucks for practicing as well as were credited toward other challenges such as the Mozart Challenge or the 100 Days of Practice Challenge.

All runners-up with at least 20 minutes each day for 5 days received $10 Bach Bucks at their last lesson. As our winner, Aria received an additional $10 Bach Bucks!

Great job, everyone!
