I want to encourage any students in 3rd through 8th grade to spend some time brushing up on their music reading skills.  Go to the "bookmarks" section to find interactive websites to help you learn and review your note reading, and a lot of other fun activities, too!!!

FINGERNAIL ALERT!!!!!!!!!!  Please help your 3rd through 8th grade students clip their fingernails short.  Long fingernails get in the way of putting fingers in the right position on the fingerboard.  Violin, viola and cello players need to get used to well trimmed fingernails.  One more time, clip those nails!!!
