You will see that there is a video that includes all four parts, a video for just sopranos and a video for just altos.

Basses and tenors, as more experienced singers, you can just use the four-part video to sing along. Pass these links on and learn your parts.  All 4 Parts: Soprano Part Link: Alto Park Link:

Click here to access your Google Classroom. You will need your username and password which will be shared with you in the lesson.

If you do it by hand, you can scan it in the Google Classroom app and submit it there. It's going to be epic.
