I know how challenging it can be to find melodic music with engaging and appropriate text. For my doctoral research, I'm exploring exactly that, and I would be so grateful for your help. Your insights from the classroom are the most important part of this project.

By sharing your experiences in a quick 5-minute questionnaire, you'll directly help me gather the data needed to design new resources and apply for grants to make them widely available.

Please help me help our community!

I know many of you aren’t thinking about next school year just yet, but I wanted to share something now to make planning a whole lot easier later.
I’m creating a full year of lesson plans for nearly every page of Smart Strings Volume One—and if time allows, Volume Two this summer as well. Each lesson includes play-along links and clearly labeled ASTA standards, so you can copy, paste, and teach with ease.

The best part? It’s all completely FREE.

I’m already deep into Volume One and wanted to get the link out to you now so it’s ready when you are. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JDLa3LvzO0Smx1nFgLY6DY2lzLoWWx0oZPpgiA5xPuk/edit?usp=sharing

Did you recently purchase a class set of Smart Strings from JWPepper in the last couple of days? If so, please get ahold of me ASAP so that we can fix some issues with your purchase.
I am trying to track down the person who purchased from JWPepper because JWPepper sold the old, outdated version of Smart Strings and not the new, much better version. JW won't share with me who purchased the books and will not cancel their order, so I have no way of tracking down the person who made the purchase to cancel their order. I really don't want the teacher to get an inferior product.

Google storage policies changed so I’m needing to move everything to a new drive! If you have a link for something that no longer works please reach out to me. Here is the new link for the play along tracks: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18VLt2Au12x6BVdhKsrYiMrL8lzFat5vt

Please note the links in the books and on
