“If you can walk, you can dance, and if you can talk you can sing.”
Zimbabwean Proverb

Welcome PARENTS, GUARDIANS, and TEACHERS in search of quick and free resources to keep kids busy. I’ve been a music teacher for 10 years. To help with the CoVid-19 pandemic, I’m providing some of my original content (as well as some of my favorite open-source materials) for use by school teachers going digital and homeschooling families. Ages/Grades are approximate and subjective; 1:1 and group lessons are available online by registration. If you repost, I ask that you provide a link back to SpringerMusicStudio.com
