Trebleclef Features Local Music Trivia

Our mascot, Trebleclef the Music Loving Monkey has been doing some remote teaching during the pandemic. He's been featuring local music trivia tidbits on his Facebook page through the #ProfTrebleTrivia hashtag.

Treble's always looking for interesting local music trivia so if you'd like to share some with him, please email blueshamilton@gmail.com.

Below are a few samples of what our little monkey has been teaching.
