Piano Fundamentals
COVID-19 UPDATE (3/20/20):
Interactions are going to look different than they have in the past, but we will be studying music and piano!
We will be using Band and Schoology as our primary means of interaction, so I encourage you to go there and check it regularly. The following excerpt is from the most recent Commandant's Corner:

Interactions are going to look different than they have in the past, but we will be studying music and piano!
We will be using Band and Schoology as our primary means of interaction, so I encourage you to go there and check it regularly. The following excerpt is from the most recent Commandant's Corner:
- Extra credit is being accepted all week, as well as any missing work from the third marking period.
- You can expect daily assignments and instruction to be posted by 10:00AM. (Yes, this includes choir)
- Mid-terms for the second semester have been waived. As of now, no one is exempt from finals.
- Monday, March 23rd is no longer a “day off”. This is the beginning of the 4th marking period and all cadets are expected to check in through the Band app (Information, as to where to watch online videos, download assignments and the date for which they are due will all be readily available.)
- This work will be graded and does count. We are abundantly aware there will be some technical issues, but are prepared to work through them.
Blessings,
Mrs. Harkey
