While my family and I are staying-at-home during this pandemic, we have been rediscovering the joy and fun of music together.
We've started a family band and have been holding daily jam sessions. And we've also been busy using KO@Home– Kids’ Orchestra’s new virtual learning program.
Thanks to KO@Home, my daughter, Julia now has the opportunity to continue studying the violin by watching videos made by her teacher, Ms. Rachel.
My daughter, Julia practicing her violin as she watches a KO@Home mini-lesson video from her teacher, Ms. Rachel.
Not only does Julia get the chance to reconnect with her teacher, but both her and my son, Logan can use KO@Home’s Lagniappe Resourcesduring their homeschool days. It’s truly a win-win for us all.
Music is incredibly important during these uncertain times and together we can keep it alive at home with KO@Home.Please join me in using these fun resources with your family.
I wish you and your family a wonderful music-making experience.
Stay safe and stay well.
Sincerely,
Branden Barker
