Metronome: Korg KDM-3  Digital Metronome
I love that it's volume (LOUD but with a rich acoustic sound!), easy tap-in to find your tempo, the +1 function (adjust a tempo by a single beat per minute), multiple options for accents and subdivisions, colored lights, and a very long battery life!
Page Tabs
These make finding your assignments SO much easier (ensuring that no assignment gets left behind during practice!). Have them available to mark new assignments as we go through lessons. They are manufactured by several different companies. 
Pedal Extender
This is incredibly helpful for younger & smaller pianists, as it allows them to stabilize their feet and use the pedals. I've tried many, and the best (by far) the DPH-PE-2. Available NEW here: http://www.dphmusicarts.com/
OR ​ASK ME if I have any available second hand!
Flashcards for Notes, Rhythms, and Musical Terms
You'd think that with all the bells and whistles of digital games students would not be interested in old-fashioned flash cards... but they ARE. And this is a great way to practice the essentials!
Music Dictionary
A useful collection of definitions, composers, and theory. This pocket-sized reference book of over 330 pages includes a broad range of important information, from basic principles of theory and concise biographies of composers to pronunciations of foreign terms and ranges of instruments and voices. This easy-to-use volume covers every major aspect of music!

Digital Pianos

Digital pianos can be very convenient. They save space, don't require tuning, and students can play them with headphones on! That said, it's important that the model you select meets these minimum requirements:
  • 88 weighted keys
  • Pedal (NOT square pedal)
  • Piano is on a sturdy stand (not X-stand)
  • Adjustable bench.
Recommended starter keyboards (under $1000): Yamaha P-125 (see below) or  KAWAI ES8.
If you are able to invest in a higher-end digital piano (typically $2000-3k) please let me know and I'll be happy to make recommendations
Yamaha P-125: a great digital piano for under $1000!

Acoustic Pianos

Acoustic pianos have so much to offer in terms of sound that a digital can't replicate, but they do require more care and maintenance. Please plan for your piano to be tuned at least once a year (twice is helpful due to temperature/humidity shifts!). All keys must be in working order.
 
To purchase a new or used acoustic piano, I recommend:
​​Darrell's Music Hall (Nashua, NH)
Hilbert Pianos (Bristol, VT)

Pianos & Technicians

The average rate for a piano tuning (recommended twice a year) is $100-140 if the piano does not require additional services.
