6th Grade #15, #16 & #17

Hi Sixth Grade,

Here are the links to the files so you can hear what it should sound like.
Remember, if you think you're wrong - how can you fix it? Do you need to change how tight your lips are? Do you need more air? Do you have to chill out and relax?!

Remember, I'm only going to listen to one of these, but make sure you practice all 3 - I can tell!

15 --- A QUARTER'S WORTH!
16 --- HOT CROSS BUNS!
17 --- AU CLAIR DE LA LUNE

Make sure you do the RESTS!!

Thanks,
-- Mr. Tubb
