This year we will be individually choosing a program of study for ourselves in music and art.  I will share my favourite resources below for the areas I will be focusing on.  

In music you can learn a new musical instrument, start to learn one for the first time, or just continue practicing an instrument you already know.  You may also want to join your ward choir and improve your vocal skills.  

For art you can choose to develop skill in any medium that interests you.  You can choose from drawing, water color, oil painting, pastels, clay, paper crafts, card making, lettering, ink drawings, colored pencil, printmaking, graphic design, mosaics, stained glass, sculpture, ceramics, sand art and more.
