This session is designed to show how alignment from K-12th grade is not only possible, but highly needed. As we build musicians we need to be mindful that our focus should be on the humans we are educating. The need for play doesn’t end after 5th grade. The need for quality doesn’t start at high school. Sing and play along with us as we highlight the processes of an aligned K-12 system.
