Rochester Music Weebly: https://rcsspecials.weebly.com/music
On this page, you will find resources for learning, exploring and creating. The Rochester music team have created original music lessons for you to complete at your own interest and pace over the next few weeks. These lessons can be found on the Weebly site linked above.
I would highly encourage every student to join our MBE Specials Google Classroom. We will use Classroom to share what you've learned about or created during this time, and to communicate as a crew.You need help from a parent or trusted adult who has a Google Email. Here are instructions on how to join Classroom:

The class code to our Specials Classroom is linked above. I will ask questions through Google Classroom that you can choose to answer, to communicate about the assignments you've chosen to work on and to connect with thoughts and ideas about music during this period of remote learning.
In addition to your choice of lessons, I have packed this website full of activities and webpages that you can visit for your own discovery and creation. These resources are grouped into three categories: Create, Play and Listen. Everything you can do on this page is fun and optional- totally up to you what you choose to do! :)
If you have any questions throughout the coming weeks, please email me at agriffin@rochester.k12.mi.us or message me through Google Classroom. I am here for you ready to answer any questions or just say hello. I miss you all, and hope that you have fun exploring the resources on this page. Happy music making! :)
Lots of love,
Ms. Griffin
