Im in Urbana doing a community mural for the library - so many people came out to help that we had to go from one wall to three 😅
The other day I taught one of my cello students that they could type in a website's name and .com to go directly to the website, without having to click on the website from a Google search. They had no idea. This is why #musicinstruction is important!
