Thought I’d share a few photos of random things from the studio…

Here’s a first composition created by one of my young students last week.  It’s called “Hush Little Squirrels.”  I love her inventive notation system!  You can see the black key groups of 2′s and 3′s pictured, and the L’s and H’s mean high or low.  I was so proud of the work she put into creating and notating her piece.

My parents gave me this for Christmas to hang on the wall in my studio:

I’ve been looking for something to put on the wall over my piano for awhile now.  I think this looks nice there!

My homeschool students are still working their way through the Musical Instruments Workbook.  I used to store my crayons in a zipper bag and dump them out on the floor in little piles.  Then I came across these cute little tin buckets that I bought at the dollar section at Target (probably a year ago), and found that they are absolutely perfect for crayons!  Cleanup is a lot easier now that we don’t have all the crayons spread across the floor.  :)
