Music Totes & New Years Practicing Resolutions!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. And oh, by the way…remember me? 
It’s been awhile! I’m so happy to be back today to show you some super cute music totes that are perfect for carrying those piano books around.

I remember when I was about six or seven, my Mom made my sister and I tote bags for our piano books. Mine was lined with pink fabric and had a pink apple painted on the outside pocket. I sure got a lot of good use out of that bag, and I still treasure it today!
Margaret from Southpaw Crafts contacted me about trying out one of her cute music totes and I was so excited! I love this “Piano Gal” tote and have put it to use holding all of the current piano music I am working on (New Years practicing resolution, anyone??). (Speaking of practicing, one of my dear teachers always told me that I should always be working on a Bach Prelude and Fugue and a Beethoven Sonata – so inside my tote bag I’ve got my trusty Well-Tempered Clavier to learn Fugue #1, which I love but have never learned, Beethoven’s Pathetique Sonata 3rd movement – my kids LOVE to sing along! – and a Chopin Scherzo for good measure!)
Anyway, back to Southpaw Crafts – Margaret has a nice variety of quality music totes in her Etsy shop. I love the cute sayings, such as “Keep Calm and Practice On,” and the simple look of the black and white vinyl lettering and graphics. These are so fun for students – I think having a fun bag for their music and flashcards is a nice motivator! She also has some other cute music-related items in her shop, including some cute “rest” throw pillows (perfect for your studio’s waiting room!) and a kitchen “staff” apron. Head on over to her shop and check it out! Also, she let me know that she will be hosting a giveaway on her Facebook page, so be sure to “like” it to get all the details.
Happy practicing!
