Snowed in? Post a pet picture and pass on a smile. 😊

Keeping my body active keeps my mood in check. Grateful for the Letcher County Recreation Center for providing a nice place to workout. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Today’s lesson is how to play dynamics and finger rolls on tambourine and switching from a tambourine excerpt to a marimba excerpt without skipping a beat.
👍🏽How you prepare determines how and if you will place in the audition.

🏆Pro-tip: Keep a journal to track your practice sessions. List what went well, what you worked on, tempos you took for your excerpts, things to work on for tomorrow. ❤️
