Music to Our Ears!

     If you are looking for a quick pick-me-up on your lunch break, consider checking out one of the weekly "recitals" going on virtually showcasing some of QCSD's finest musicians. If you'd like to listen, you can "stop by" the recital to have a listen. Go to https://meet.google.com/. When that opens up, you can click on "Join or Start a Meeting." Type the event nickname in the search box. Click continue and you're there! 
     On Tuesdays at noon, you can check out some of our Strayer musicians by searching for the nickname strayerrecital in Google Meet. These recitals are hosted by music teachers Cindy Teprovich and Rachael Urquhart. 
     On Fridays at noon, you can check out some our Sixth Grade Center musicians by searching for the nickname sgcrecital in Google Meet. These recitals are hosted by music teachers Megan Edinger, Melanie Hazelrigg, and Todd Silvius. And, if you know of any eager 5th grade musicians who want to ask the 6th grade music team any questions, they will be "hanging out" after the recital this Friday to chat. 
     And if you just can't find the time in your day to check out these QCSD musicians, here's what some of the country's finest musicians from the Berklee College of Music put together to brighten your day. Enjoy!
