Attaching Student's Names to Guitars

One of the best tools for classroom management that we have as teachers is to know student's names. A quick way to get started is to tape the names to the guitars where you can see them from your teaching location. Here's how you can do it without damaging the guitars: You need blue painter's tape, masking tape and a permanent marker. Cut a four inch piece of painter's tape and place it on your desk. Cut a piece of masking tape that is slightly smaller and place it on top of the painter's tape. Using the permanent marker, print the student's name on the masking tape in large letters so you can call on them from a distance. Take the tape off of your desk and place it on the guitar where you can see it.

The additional benefits of this process are that it helps students to learn each others names, and it discourages students from using guitars that are not theirs.
