NOTE FOR NTI 2.0:
We will be offering a dual curriculum for students with instruments and students without instruments.  Once we have more clarification on school owned instruments being given out to students, students with instruments will upload a weekly assigned playing test that I will provide feedback to them on improving their musical abilities.  Students without instruments will be given weekly tasks to improve upon their music reading abilities, instrumental pedagogy, finger patterns, etc.  The goal is when we do get back together, we are able to perform musically as if we hadn't missed a day!

Success is a choice!  What you choose every day matters!
