I am very proud of how the students handled themselves this week. I was out for two days and when I returned, they were better than they were when I left, which means that worked hard both up at school and at home while I was gone.
There are only 4 weeks left in Scale Olympics, plenty of time to finish. We had some new olympians this week and I expect some more next week!
Check out this new metronome/tuner app I was introduced to. FREE for Android and Apple!
