How to Make Cheap Gifts for Your Students
As a teacher since 1996 I think it's always nice when the teacher gives the students a token of their appreciation. I make these CD's for a holiday and end-of-the-year gift for my students. Most students will treasure these gifts no matter what they are. I make my students a CD of the music that I play in class. I add the students voices to each track before the music starts. They introduce the song and maybe explain when or why it's played in class.
If you are working on a PC, there is a program named "Audacity" that is very similar to Garageband.

This is not only a great idea for students, it is a great way to make a special gift for the people you love. A music CD of their favorite collections with your voice is a lovely idea.

My students must be spoiled. They always ask why there isn't a beat :-)
