Drawing inspiration from Alessandra DiCienzo from the Ontario Registered Music Teachers' Association, I have launched a sight-reading challenge in my music studio.

I almost walked right past these in the store. These Post-it Note Tabs are a neat way to put important lesson reminders where my music students will look at them!

Inspired by Dr. Jennifer Snow, Frances Mae Balodis, Karen King and Mr. Dressup, I've put together a Tickle Trunk of Textures to teach touch. (A 6-word Alliteration Combo - AWESOME).
