• Students have the opportunity to earn a Ribbon each time they complete a Ribbon Song. Ribbons are like trophies for a job well done and are used to decorate a student's instrument for all to see! To earn a Ribbon, a student must pass a playing test focusing on correct posture, technique, notes, and rhythm. All of the Ribbon Songs are listed below. See how many you can earn!
