Dear Students, 

As we wait to return to school, below are a few resources and videos you can use to motivate you to continue to play your instrument. Making music does not begin and end in the bandroom. Get creative, challenge yourself, and more importantly, enjoy your music learning experience! I miss you all and I hope to see you all soon. Please contact me if you need help staying motivated! oscar.prado@cowetaschools.net
