Contact Link The following students perform in videos on this site: Alex, Alina, Ben, Bryanna, Eric, Jason, Julia, Karina, Linda, Margie, Sofiya, Valerie, Vika and Vita The sheet music for many of the student performances is found at the bottom of the same page on which the video appears. You can find the sheet music by referring to the caption on the video because it identifies the piece being played. Many captions begin with a Location Number. Example: PC-80 (Prep for Chords, Unit 80). If the piece is in a collection, the page number will be shown (pg 4). Then sometimes a composer's name. Then the title (Silent Night) and the performer's first name (Ben). Year and month recorded: 1403. (14 is year 2014; 03 is the 3rd month of the year.) Also, you can find all of an individual student's videos by entering the student's name in the search box at the top of any page. (Note: We are just getting started entering the videos. There are more to come.) | Column Reserved for Student Videos PC-80 p4 - Silent Night--Ben-1403.mp4 |
