Several people have asked if I keep a "studio wish list." I never have before, because I've never wanted to give the impression that gifts are expected from students. Upon the insistence of a few parents, though, I will jot things down here as I think of them.
* Foot-pedal extender
* Gift Certificates: Mr. E's Music; musicmotion.com; sheetmusicplus.com; ebay.com; Office Depot; Music & Arts; etc.
* Practical items that can always be used in the studio:
Stickers, stickers, stickers (and more stickers)
Toys & other inexpensive items that can be used in the "Music Points" treasure box.
Pencils
Wipe-off markers
1" 3-ring binders
White board erasers
Kleenex
Hand sanitizer
Baby wipes (for cleaning wipe-off marker off fingers)
Interesting magazines for parents who choose to stay during lessons (can be used)
