My first and second year students sometimes have trouble remembering to bring instruments to school. One key component of fostering positive habits and building personal accountability is the "I Forgot My Instrument" form. These forms live in a binder in a designated place in the classroom, preferably near a phone. Students who forget have to check in with me, and fill out this form, adding the days they forget on the same form. After the second "miss," they have to make a call to parents,
