What will music class look like during online learning?I am so happy that you are in my music class! I love music and I am so excited to share it with you. My "Live" sessions are going to be very different than they were in the spring. Each session will be packed full of interactive instruction tailored to the music standards for your grade level. I will see you in a "Live" session once every 6 school days.
Every week, there will be a music assignment to be completed. I can't wait to see every student's musical knowledge and skills develop as they complete these weekly assignments. While we are distance learning, these assignments will be the only way that I can monitor the students' mastery of skills and concepts.

Welcome VideoVideosDuring the Spring 2020 quarantine, I collaborated with a few Due West students and parents to record our own version of the Foo Fighters' song "Times Like These."
In the early days of the spring 2020 quarantine, as we were all adjusting to distance learning, I recorded a portion of Jack Johnson's "Better Together."
