Piano Lessons

[mrspotts]

Any piano teachers out there? I've been teaching L piano for a year now, and have a small reward system set up for her. However, I'm having a heck of a time finding any piano related rewards for her. Any suggestions of where/what to buy for the rewards? I like to keep them small and fairly inexpensive because I want her to be more motivated by the fact that she is getting better than by the fact she gets something. My old piano teacher did this for me and it worked well, and has been working for L.

What if you reward her with extra time to play anything she wants, something that's not part of her lessons? I took lessons from kindergarten all the way through college, and I know I drove my poor parents crazy fighting practice. It wasn't until about 7th grade that it kicked in and I started to really enjoy it - part of why I enjoyed it was that I was good enough to play fun stuff instead of just working on practice.
