You’ve made it to Part 3. And like your favorite movie series (“insert money-making book-to-movie series here”), this final chapter will be in two parts. 

If you haven’t checked out Part 1 and Part 2, please follow the links. Both of these contain helpful tools for having fun while learning music.

However, there’s always more that can be done (and to be honest, what else are you doing during quarantine?). Today we will be going over how to immerse yourself in music while you’re at home.
