Week of May 4-7: Music Activity for Grades 6-8 Hello students and parents! Here is a list of musical activities that you can choose from this week. You can do as many or as few as you would like. Have fun creating! Enjoy watching this “Cello Wars” performance by the Piano Guys on Monday and MAY THE FOURTH be with YOU!! https://safeYouTube.net/w/W4F9 You will again get to choose Option A or Option B (or you can do both if you are feeling inspired!) Whichever choice is right for you, this is an opportunity to make some music and art that you love and to share it with your family, friends and teachers. You can share your work with your classmates and me if you wish and please keep it in a safe place so we can connect to it for future learning.
