Labeling the Shelves

Isn't it great when you can finally check something off your To Do (but only if you have some spare time) List? Spare time is a hot commodity these days but I did manage to find some time to re-label my instrument shelves. 

The previous Music teacher had done a very nice job of labeling the shelves and organizing the instruments. I did, however, move some things around and my itinerant music teacher was able to fix some instruments for me so I needed to create some more space. That took place in September. Here is what my labels looked like until a few weeks ago:


 


Please note (or not) the ripped label and the lack of French Horns above the French Horn label. For some reason, I was able to manage like this for six months. I don't know how I did it but I did! 

I whipped up a quick set of labels, similar to the previous ones, but used colourful paper and a different font. Click here to download and customize your own labels. I attached the labels using clear tape after spending a significant amount of time peeling off the old labels. 

I was pretty pleased with how they looked but not pleased by the small number of students who actually noticed the change. I guess the old, ripped, mismatched labels didn't really bother them!

***Update: These labels have been updated and are still free!
