Sub Plans for Music
Monday, February 11th, 2008
Mr. Michaud

Greetings!

Thanks for covering my music classes.  You will find all the materials on a chair in the center of the room.  The music for the classes can be found on www.nebomusic.net/subplans. Click on the link for these plans and the music links will be in blue.  Simply click the links to play the music.  The music is set up to come out through the main speakers.  If there is a major problem with the sound, the amplifier is located in the closet next to the exit door.  Simply turn off the Amplifier in case of emergency.  You can control the volume with the volume knob to the right of the computer screen on the teacher's desk.  To Log In to the Teacher Computer, type "search_1" into the login field without a password.
