Subj: [kl] Idea for old reeds
Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 12:12:57 -0400

The room where my husband and I teach at the city music school has one wall
covered with reeds. There are literally thousands of reeds on the wall. We
had boards made which were cut into squares and each board has been
decorated with reeds arranged in all kinds of ways. Students decorated their
old reeds with patterns or with faces for some of the boards. Others were
colored, or left plain and sometimes cut to fit all kinds of ways. A few
students who were leaving made a reed board as a present to leave with us.
One student used a broken mouthpiece and bell and reeds arranged all around
it in a very clever way. We have our students save their old reeds for
future reed boards. We got some of the reeds from the company Steuer from
reeds they would have discarded but they gave to us instead. We've had a lot
of fun with this. Students love doing this too and it makes a nice
decoration for a clarinet teaching studio.
