[sdiy] Starter Components - Capacitors

Since I'm fairly new to synth-diy work, and electronics in general, I  
don't have a large amount of electronic components laying around which I  
can use to build things.  From looking at various synth schematics I can  
get a pretty good idea of the types of transistors, diodes, op amps, etc.  
to get.  Resistors are not a big problem either.  However, I'm stumped  
when it comes to capacitors.  There are so many different types, sizes,  
materials, etc. that I'm unsure of what to include in a set of basic  
components to have on hand for building/experimentation purposes.  Can  
anyone recommend a reasonable set of capacitors (size, type, etc) that  
would be good to have on hand for synth work (i.e. building VCO's, VCA's,  
etc.)

Thanks.
