Easter Ideas for Your Studio

submitted by teachers

Get 12 plastic colored Easter eggs.  Type up the ideas list below (or create your own) and cut them into 12 strips.  Put one strip in each Easter egg.  Put the eggs in a basket.  During the piano lesson, have each student take an egg and open it up.  Whatever is on the paper inside the egg, the student completes it during their lesson, lab time or at home.

Lab Idea

If you have several ideas for a lab time, for example, different DVDs students could watch, CDs students can listen to, a music computer game, etc., list those ideas on the paper and place them in the eggs.  This could be a fun way to choose a lab activity for one week.
