Reflections from the EDTC300 class at the University of Regina
For this week I decided to use Youtube as my tool to help me learn my first song. I had been practicing all week with a video posted by Ricky Somborn. I would take time to pause the video and play at my own pace. I’m still in the learning process, so I had to
