We FINALLY got to see some of our students with instruments and MAKE MUSIC TOGETHER! What a HUGE boost to our hearts! We're all stressed about this virtual learning thing, but as long as we can be together and play our instruments, I know it's all going to be ok! ❤️🎻🎶

LOVE this art created by one of our students. They have enjoyed leaving these paper boats for us to find in the room all year. Seeing your creativity and thoughtfulness warms my heart. We miss you all! 💕 #RISDArtsLiftsUp #ApolloGearUp

While you're working from home, enjoy the lovely sounds of Bach from our very own Ben Tran. Well done Ben! #RISDArtsLiftsUp #ApolloGearUp

Bass players, are you bored?? See if you can figure out how to play this! Hint: every note is a harmonic.

[Apollo JH Orchestra @ApolloOrch]

VERY sweet message from a student today. Reading comments like these truly makes my day! The Arts are a VITAL part of these students' lives! #RISDArtsLiftsUp

Experimenting with the Acapella app. Do I smell a future choice assignment?? 👀

[Apollo JH Orchestra @ApolloOrch]

What a great goal to have! Some days we can only bring ourselves to play for a few minutes and that's ok! Sometimes the hardest part of practicing is making the choice to start. Making music is what lifts our souls, now more than ever. Hang in there friends - You're doing great!

My new classroom, complete with very invasive coworkers.
