Description : This project was canceled due to the transition to remote learning. UNO Elementary Music Methods students will be teaching etiquette to students at Western Hills Elementary School with the help of community partner Courteous Kids. UNO students will create original piggyback songs, which change the lyrics of popular songs to teach a specific lesson. The students will have the opportunity to use this method to teach important life skills to elementary students.
