Interesting that you did the same thing making your practice space more organized and welcoming. It really makes a big difference. I like your idea of keeping binders to organize your stuff. I make copies of the worksheets in the book I'm working with so I can redo them numerous times and not have to mess up the book erasing. I'll have to get a binder to keep that stuff in. I have tabs all over the place too - they should be orgnaized in binders.

Your idea of discovering at least one new (to you) band each week is a good one. With the internet radio services available today, it so easy to do. It would have been so cool to have had this available to me when I was a kid. "Back in the day" we did this by listening to the radio and swapping records.

At first I thought wow, 52 bands, that might be tough. But the more I thought about it, it won't be. Good new year's resolution!
