As requested by an anon, here is The Only Exception by Paramore for a violin/cello duet. Enjoy! 

**I am not a member of Paramore, and I didn’t write this song. I did, however, make this sheet music, so please give credit if you’re going to use it for anything**

Giving Good Praise to Girls: What Messages Stick

“The kids who are getting this process praise, those are the kids who want the challenge.”

What do you think about these? We love the way they look, but it kind of pains us to see sheet music cut up… Regardless, tis the season for merriment, and that should be celebrated!
