This page is intended to be used as a resource for music teachers. With many limitations, music teachers can and will work together to keep the arts alive. This portion of the website is devoted to activities that can be used during COVID-19. If you can have individual music kits- think of what might be useful for younger grades. Be creative, but don't forget finances. If you have additional activities, please reach out and contact me. I will check it out and might add it to the site. We are all in this together!
