As we prepare for the concert, I ask that parents please continue to enforce the importance of home practice. The songs that the students should be preparing for the concert are listed below, with links to listen to the recordings. Please do not hesitate to ask for ideas on ways that you can help your child practice! You can also look at my website for additional practice tips, schedules, resources, etc. (
