Vine...How true Anonymous. We must lead by example.<br /><br />Vinegar works well when you have a sore throat. Here's one recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Sore-and-strep-throat-away-Gargle-106056<br /><br />I've grown up on white vinegar mixed with salt and a bit of water. I wound up doing a science fair experiment on it too. Extremely effective.Rhona-Mae Arcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561954550583675696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-13330667303473275592009-11-02T10:15:15.576-05:002009-11-02T10:15:15.576-05:00Thanks for the vinegar tip, I'm sure it's ...Thanks for the vinegar tip, I'm sure it's easier on the piano than Lysol. Speaking of Lysol, I give everything in my studio a spritz after every lesson. I urge my students to wash their hands in the kitchen before even entering the studio, and I wash mine, too. Set a good example for your students- if you have to sneeze, don't touch the piano afterward. Sneeze into your elbow and then still wash your hands anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-8387501310642876882009-11-02T04:09:27.031-05:002009-11-02T04:09:27.031-05:00.., helpful tips for the pianos and the children, ....., helpful tips for the pianos and the children, this is my first time to heard about vinegar and water as cleanser for piano keys.. :) <br /><br /><a href="http://www.playpianoguide.com/" rel="nofollow">online piano course</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-42001634064435918492009-10-29T22:29:42.064-04:002009-10-29T22:29:42.064-04:00Vinegar truly does work wonders.

I've been using it for years and have recently switched to using it as my primary house cleaner (natural and effective).<br /><br />I had been using microfibre cloths to wipe surfaces down last year but have gone all out with super potent vinegar mix and hand sanitizers are located at several strategic locations.<br /><br />I am glad to see that students are washing and sanitizing more regularly now.Rhona-Mae Arcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561954550583675696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-83187418117699916792009-10-29T10:07:36.281-04:002009-10-29T10:07:36.281-04:00I sanitize my plastic piano keys using a small rag...I sanitize my plastic piano keys using a small rag with rubbing alcohol because it disinfects and also evaporates quickly. I also require my younger school-aged students to wash their hands with soap and water before lessons.Trudy Harrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-73084951959155886572009-10-29T08:40:03.825-04:002009-10-29T08:40:03.825-04:00I've been tempted to cancel all lessons w/ramp...I've been tempted to cancel all lessons w/rampant flu reports from all the school districts represented by my students. Instead I opted for conservative guidelines for my parents (don't come to lesson if anyone in the family has had a fever in 48 hours, and don't come w/any coughing or sneezing). So far this week 90% of students have canceled w/those guidelines (studio represents students from Delaware and southeast PA). wowzas!<br /><br />p.s. thanks for the vinegar tip!cmcriverdawnhttp://www.twitter.com/cmcriverdawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-41160496456203866352009-10-29T07:54:03.193-04:002009-10-29T07:54:03.193-04:00Thanks for the info - I am actually home sick toda...Thanks for the info - I am actually home sick today...our whole house has been sick this week! My university students have been dropping like flies too. It is incredibly difficult to see progress when a student is perpetually sick - especially since my students are singers!<br /><br />As for the flu vaccine - I have very strong views BUT encourage people to make the decision not based on fear tactics but real, concrete proof.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759821205959428594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-29036063842458308612009-10-29T07:45:24.654-04:002009-10-29T07:45:24.654-04:00Thanks for the vinegar/water tip.

I also have a bottle of hand sanitizer in the studio and I always send the kids to wash their hands after they sneeze or blow their nose. I've had surprisingly few cancellations so far...knock wood.Cath :: AllPianohttp://www.allpiano.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
