Just for Fun - Enjoy the music! The Beat, Volume #1

The Beat - Volume 1

Our lives have been upended, with so many of us staying home, working from home, and homeschooling (if you're doing both, you are a super hero.) This is a new journey for all of us and we are on it with you. To help make it a little easier, every week we'll send you videos and links of great music and irreverent links to fun content. A little escapism from our current situation.

We ask you to share what you love with all of us. Email any concert links, articles, or any other fun, creative, thoughtful content to karen@troymusichall.org - we may share your favorites with everyone.
