Last Lesson Sheet

Here’s one last thought for the “Last Lesson” topic.  Valerie, one of our subscribers from Utah, (www.valeriepianostudio.net), who actually posed the original question on what to do at that last lesson, has come up with a “Last Lesson Sheet” to give to students who are leaving.  On it, she lists websites where students can find music and review theory, the phone numbers and addresses of local music stores, and favorite repertoire from past lessons for students to review. Other things that might be added are phone numbers of teachers in the new area (if students are moving), and a list of books they can purchase on their level that might keep them going on their own until a new teacher is found.

We need to do all we can to help keep students involved with music, even if that involvement isn’t with us anymore.

Leave your comments and suggestions on what you would add to the list.
