  • And More!

Jacqui sums up her article like this, in a paragraph entitled, I Will Play Music During Keyboarding Time: Which brings us back to music. Music has a rhythm that continues throughout the song.

I'm excited about these changes. They may rearrange my time, but it's about working smarter, not harder.”
