BACHATA MUSIALITY & TIMING

CURRICULUM
CHECKLIST
ABOUT THE CHECKLISTS
WHY WE CREATED THIS CHECKLIST
There are many wonderful things about our online platform but the one thing you
can't easily do online is see your progress in an overview, nor can you see all of the
curriculum laid out in a easy to see way.
We created this checklist to help see from a birds eye view, what you will learn/how
much you have completed and what's left to complete.
Also, a few students have mentioned that if you only watch a video for a few minutes
it marks the video as complete so if you're looking ahead and watching videos it will
mess with the accuracy of the progress bar.

MOBILE FRIENDLY PDF

This Document is a PDF so you can easily use it on any device. My favorite part about
this curriculum is the fact that those little boxes are actually able to be checked off
digitally. If you have an iPhone, simply open your PDF in ibooks and it will stay there
and save your progress as you double tap to check those boxes.

If you are on a Computer or Laptop you will need to open the PDF in PDF reader and
you can just click inside the boxes to check them off or delete them.

Its incredibly simple to use digitally if you want to be environmentally friendly.

If you want to print this, we have Included a printer-friendly black and white version
on the last pages so simple click Print pages 5-7 and it will only print the ink friendly
pages at the end of the PDF.

HOW TO USE THIS SHEET
