    While I started using this for subs (I never get music certified ones), I ended up using it during our shutdown because of COVID-19. LIFE SAVING MATERIAL! I had ZERO resources at home other than this, and my students did not have their materials at home either. This allowed me to keep music going. Thank you!!!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m thrilled that this was helpful during your shutdown! Thanks so much for the kind feedback πŸ™‚

  17. Jordan H. –

    Videos are good and I have used several of these on days when I have to be away. My only issue is that sometimes the videos go ‘missing’ (i.e. broken links) as often happens on public sites. Also, not sure all the videos will ‘stand the test of time’. Some worksheets have the same questions repeated- I would have liked more variety.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you for your thorough and sincere feedback. I truly appreciate it. I’m usually able to fix broken links (or replace videos that’ve been taken down) within 24 hours. Please feel free to email me at theylbrickroad@gmail.com if you ever encounter a broken link. I’d be happy to help! I’ll definitely keep your feedback in mind for future revisions πŸ™‚

  18. Bryan H. –

    Lots of great activities here! Perfect for emergency sub plans, or one of those days where you need a quick filler.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you πŸ™‚

  19. Lauren R. –
