Dear Elizabeth,
I'm sure the teachers on the list will have some great ideas, but
allow me to bring up a couple points:

1. Be sure to use the Recorder Karate Dojo, which is free to anyone
who owns Recorder Karate. There you'll find (among other things) Tips
& Ideas, some of which are about extending Recorder Karate.

2. Note that we sell 18 different colors of Recorder Reward Belts, so
there's no need to stop with a black belt!

I hope this helps.
