Hello friends! I miss making music with all of you very much and I hope you are well! Below are some activities to keep your spirits up while we are apart. If you need to reach out, just ask for help from your parents to email me at [email protected] or tag me on Twitter @EvansMusicNotes. I'd love to hear from you or see pictures/videos of you making music at home with your family! I hope we get to see each other very soon!
Singing
Singing is a great way to have fun! You could share a song that we learned in class with your family or have them teach you a song!
