While observing her students work on basic phonics skills with incarcerated youth at the Allen County Juvenile Detention Center, Dr. Amy Mullins, assistant professor of education, encountered a problem. The teens were embarrassed to use materials designed for young children.
“Our students tried re-covering their books with white paper to hide the titles,” said Mullins. “Then, we started looking online, but we couldn’t find anything appropriate.”
Krysti Schey shares these photos of students having Krysti's Music Studio music lessons, in Krysti's words, " We’re happily rolling along 'virtually' as normal!"
She adds that "just for fun we’re doing a daily 'live' from our Facebook page at 11 a.m. Mondays through Fridays."
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is a kid's sing-along.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays is piano background music.
