String Parents,

Central Dauphin and myself are still committed to the enrichment and continued learning of your child despite the state mandated school closings.

I understand that for some of your children, their instrument lesson is their favorite part of the week.  And while they have plenty of time to practice the things they already know over the next two (possibly more) weeks, many of them will desire to learn more. Therefore, I will be developing some videos today and create a website/YouTube page explaining each individual page of the lesson book. Nothing is required. Nothing is graded. Just something to keep learning.

I will be doing all communication from here on out through Remind App. PLEASE SIGN UP FOR THIS FREE SERVICE IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY.

Please feel free to sign up for Remind. Remind app is a free app (or text messaging service if you don’t have a smart phone) that connects teachers and parents easily without sharing anyone’s phone numbers. Please sign-up for the correct classroom with the links below:

I will be giving details regarding the website/YouTube page via Remind. ---  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7csdOu9BMCyrGLHmOImGdw

On a lighthearted note, I’d like to share a Facebook post my German percussionist friend from Norway posted about practicing during the quarantine:

“An ideal outcome of this situation is that all dedicated snaredrummers come out of all this the most swole we have ever been.” 😊

Happy Practicing, Stay Safe, Wash Your Hands.
