GOD BLESS AMERICA PROJECTS LINKS HAVE BEEN DELIVERED

If you attended your zoom lesson, Ms. Kluga has sent you a link to start your project. The link already contains recordings from some of our seniors, so you can hear how your part fits. Click on the link to record your part.

Before you record, please read the project directions again – to make sure you understand the steps (they are attached if you need them). Then, click the link Ms. Kluga sent you. You can listen to the senior’s recording first, as you read along with your sheet music, to hear how your part fits. When you are ready, select a square in the project, and record your part.
