MUS 350: Music Teaching in Ensemble Settings had an amazing collaboration with Becky Park and the Urbana HS choirs these last days. We sang for each other, sang together, taught each other new things, and got to know each other. Absolutely brilliant time together. 🧡💙 #illinoismusiced by @uiucmusiced
