Nipmuc Singers and Their Pets

Olivia and Raven
Picture
Email Ms. Simmonds with a picture of you and your pet (and their name!) so we can continue to feature Nipmuc singers and the pets keeping us sane during social distancing.
​
​Don't have a pet? Send a picture of whatever else you may be doing these days that's helping you relieve stress and stay grounded!

Listening Recommendation:
​Etude for Piano and Disinfecting Wipe

(it's worth zooming in on the sheet music to catch all of the "musical directions")
