I started listening to your blog when at the gym and have learned so much. Love what you do and share with us all. Adult stickers: I never gave my adult student stickers until one of the dad's I taught asked why I had cut out coloured paper quavers/eighth notes with names on them decorating my walks. They all had stars (which younger students received as positive reinforcement for excellent lessons). When I explained he wanted one. I asked my other adult students (about 20) and every one wanted the stars and stickers on their music. Now I offer them to everyone.
I have taught a lot of parent participation classes. Then the kids graduate to private lessons. Later the Moms or Dads come for lessons. They always say my kids want to know why I'm not getting stickers? So, I started giving out stickers. I always tell adults that I give stickers because.........and ask them if they want stickers? They almost always say yes.
Thanks for this Nicola! I have just tried to buy the Kaleidoscope book and can't find it for sale in the UK. Is there a supplier you would recommend? Thanks!
