In my 10 years of being a Music Teacher,  I never thought I'd be doing it online and "From a Distance".     

Music is so important and I want to make sure all of my OLGC students do "not miss a beat" during this health crisis, COVID19.

The benefits of children learning music are:P

• Music helps the brain to develop
• Music is fun
• Music helps to focus and relieve stress
• Music helps to understand Math
• Music is a form of self expression
• Music can improve social skills
• Music can boost self confidence

The PLAN!

Every Tuesday a "Music for the week" lesson will be attached to each grade page. The lesson may include a video, an online  game, pdf of a song or activity or some audio clips.

I'll also include some good online activities that can be used to supplement our online Music program.   For many of the online activities, you have to copy the website (URL) address and paste it into your google/chrome/safari browser to open it.

I'm excited to work together to maintain the integrity of our Music program at OLGC!

Please be patient as I navigate my way through technology. The first few weeks may be a little bumpy.
