Earn them one song at a time:
Work on your song until it’s “performance ready.” Once it’s ready, make your first monster mask. Video yourself playing the song in your mask or take a photo. Do all six masks, and you will have a whole concert of 6 recordings.
Six songs at once:
Learn and review/upgrade six songs at a performance level. Do a final concert changing your masks for each piece. Choose the mask that you think best suits each song.
Creative stories:
Create a story for each monster mask based on one of your songs.
Draw pictures of the stories and the monsters that go with each song.
You can even make a program with drawings from each of the stories.
