Welcome to the Knapp Music Room!
As we ease back into our regular music routine, we
still need to be mindful of the conditions that the
pandemic has brought on our world and further,
into our music classroom. We still have many
challenges ahead as we begin the new year,
but hopefully we will be able to return to some
sort of normalcy as the year progresses. That
being said, I have many things planned for our
Knapp Knights musicians for the 2021-2022
