Happy Week 2!

Please, sign up and work on smart music or sight reading factory. I will be using that for grading for now.

Day 3. I hope everyone is still practicing and using their sites. I haven't received a whole of submissions, even though most of you have signed up.

If anyone has any idea on what else we can/should/want to be doing, please let me know.

Miss you all.

Thank you for being so patient with me on the first day. Some issues to deal with and I think I have most of them fixed. As you continue to practice, either with voice or instrument, on smart music or sight reading factory, please let me know what I can do to help to make music learning online easier. I'm trying.

Oh! If you need more theory help please use musictheory.net . They have great resources, and activities for you to use.

Chorus students:

As of this morning, I am in the process of getting videos and recordings out to you. Please be patient. First one is a warm up video. With all of these, please ignore background noises and me laughing. My "assistant" Paige is loving the fact I am home with her and wants to be included.
