if you are in the middle school band or strings classes you have the opportunity to perform for me for extra credit.  All you have to do is use your mobile device to call me at me GoogleVoice number and play a song for me.  Each week I will give you some specific songs you may choose from to play.  Remember this is my googl voice phone number and not my regular phone.  When you call the number you will hear a recorded message and then play for me.  Your performance will be recorded and sent to my google voice account.   I look forward to hearing from you……I’ve already had one student play for me this past weekend.   🙂
