Online Learning

PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT DAILY. Students should play along on their instruments with the videos in CANVAS Online Learning. If they cannot play the video, they must go back and do the previous assignment video again until mastered.

Students should have registered for Essential Elements Interactive. The instructions are in CANVAS. Once registered, students can play along as they learn music from their Essential Elements band book. We usually cover about a page per week in class.

ZOOM!

ZOOM CLASS has ended for this school year.

Please be sure your student is caught up on all "Online Learning" lessons in Canvas so they are ready for virtual instruction with Mrs. Goings! Students should bring their binder, instrument, and supplies to ZOOM lessons.
