Harry Potter week! K-2 lessons and 3-5 lessons
Hello, young musicians! Please make sure you are checking this music site for your twice-weekly assignments. I will post each Friday afternoon so you have your lessons for the following Monday and Wednesday, which are now your music days. (If you are looking for something to do on the weekends, you could choose to get started early!) Music BINGO was to be completed in the week prior to spring break. I will leave it below so you can play along for fun, but it is no longer part of your weekly assignments. Thank you, everyone!
