Chamber Music and Fundamentals
Why: To allow students and educators the ability to teach, learn and "perform"
through short 60 second arrangements

that have no copyright restrictions
Where: Educators access a Google Folder, then assign parts in any combination of C, Bb, Eb or F.
Students practice on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram or they can download Performance Videos for their own study.
Students can use these videos to hear their own mistakes or showcase their final product
by creating videos of them playing along with others.
