They were so kind and helpful when we built it, and leading up to the wedding, they’ve been great about letting us know when gifts are ready to be picked up. Love love LOVE all my new dishes, and can’t wait to get more there in the future.”

Becky designs and makes products of interest to professional musicians, music teachers, and music students, including child students and adult students. These products include books, notecards, art prints, and purses. These books include, HAVE FUN WITH YOUR MUSIC and PASSION FOR PRACTICE. Becky wrote and illustrated these books with the goal of enhancing motivation relating to music, for example, motivation to practice, to perform, and to improvise while playing music.

The placemats and the other gifts are all suitable as prizes, for example, for children in summer camp. PURSES. Music Teacher Gifts designs and makes purses, such as those in the shape of a guitar, violin, viola, cello, and stringed bass. Each of these purses contains pockets that are suitable for carrying rosin (rosin for violin bow), guitar picks, extra violin strings or guitar strings, eyeglasses, a chin rest (needed for violins), or a cell phone. When carried, these purses identify the owner as a musician or as a music-lover. The purses are conversation-starters. When designing the purses, Becky contacted professional musicians and, in response, the musicians provided lists of supplies and accessories that are needed during music performances. Becky modified the design of the purse so that the pockets would be suitable for carrying these accessories. The back side of some of the purses are colored entirely in black, to make them more suitable for bringing them on stage during performances. The black color of the back of the purses make them more suitable for the formal and dignified nature of most concerts. SUPPORTING YOUNG COMPOSERS. Music Teacher Gifts is a company that gives back. They hold an annual nation-wide competition for music compositions. They have awarded $1,000's in prizes to youth. Purchasing gifts from Music Teacher Gifts enables this company to grant awards to young music students. CREDENTIALS.

This performance was at an amphitheater in Marin County, CA. Becky holds a college degree in engineering. During Becky's youth, her father often graced their home with his performances, in the living room, of piano pieces by Chopin, Beethoven, and Brahms.”
