    WOW, this is a life saver! I am really impressed by everything you’ve put together. Now I can still have my students do engaging, worthwhile activities on days when I am unexpectedly out… or even those days when I probably should have stayed home sick and could really use the help. This is going to give me so much peace of mind to have in my back pocket.

    After downloading the free sample of this product, I fell in love with the “Cello Wars.” I purchased the full version but there is no “Cello Wars” or pdf worksheets to accompany the PPT. I am interested in using all of the other fantastic materials, but I did not get what I was expecting and needing. Any help?

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Hi Alicia–the sample was from both sets, No Prep Activities for Music and No Prep Activities for Elementary Music. I’m sorry, I should have been more clear about that in the sampler. Please send me an email at theylbrickroad@gmail.com, and I’d be happy to help!
