Don't worry everyone, I have lots to say about this. It's a crisis of epic proportions and no one is taking it seriously enough.
Tate is another veteran student paving the way 🙌🏼 Quick story: The week before, I asked Tate to start practicing with the backing track, but not to make a decision about playing with the track until he was on stage. He sat down and said "Do the track". He puts in the work in all areas of his life and this was not an exception - great job Tate!
There’s that one bass line that hits and suddenly your whole face is like… yes, this is the one. It's like your brain had a knee-jerk reaction to the groove.
As music teachers, it’s our job to make sure we are speaking the student’s language and not expecting the student to only speak ours. And hey I get it. Verbal instructions are like someone speaking a foreign language 🤷🏼‍♀️
Happy December...Beanie, the studio dog is ready for hygge 🙌🏼

Just shredding some Tom Sawyer...nbd 🎸
The Glynn brothers always put lots of thought and effort into their showcase performance each year, and their teamwork always makes for a fantastic show. Here's Tucker and Caleb's rendition of Don't Stop Believin' by Journey!
Nothing exists in a vacuum and certainly this isn't the only reason why students stop playing. Sure, students have to learn things they don't necessarily "like". But attitude is a big contributor. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Ryker is a veteran student at the studio, showing finesse and ease with Vince Guaraldi's Skating. He's also a veteran Bill Riley talent search performer and plays all genres of music. Great job Ryk!
I mean come on, you're 6 and 7
Do you know how much guts it takes to start music lessons AND get on stage? Terri made it look like a breeze. We love her passion for Janice Joplin and she stole the crowd with this one...and her outfit!
Zack plays guitar and piano at the studio. Not only is he disciplined and practices two instruments, he has learned River Flows in You in just three short years at the studio. The emotion in this rendition of River Flows in You shines through. He's a wonderful example of focus and creativity. Great job for being a wonderful example, Zack!
Mark is always leading by example. We all know Fur Elise but do you know it as a Samba? 🙌🏼
I mean it's ridiculous isn't it 😂 To be a fluent speaker in any language, you don't have to think about it. Look, I don't have it down perfect either. I was traditionally trained, and every musical experience I had in childhood, apart from jamming in the car with my dad, was memorized, sheet music or rehearsed. This is an experience I have to cultivate in myself daily. The number of people I encounter who feel that musical expression is so far away is truly remarkable and not limited to myself. And yeah...the "no one understand me" attitude wasn't an accident. Next time I hear someone say "Yeah, I just want them to learn how to read music" I'll be referring to this.
At the studio, kids keep hitting me with that “6, 7,” complete with the mysterious hand gesture, and I swear they deliver it like it’s a secret code from the Ministry of Childhood. Kids think it’s hilarious every single time. I miss when jokes had words. Or logic. But honestly, I kind of love how committed they are to the bit. What new trend do you still not really understand?
We’re still reeling from our Annual Student Showcase from yesterday✨ . Only a handful of our students decide to play at our showcase each year, and they did not disappoint! Each student handcrafts, practices, and perfects their song choices. We give each performer a parameter to follow, and it is so exciting to see their own musical taste shine through. Our vision is simple, “to reawaken creativity, simplicity, and joy as the core of learning; instilling a lifetime passion for music that impacts the lives of others” and each showcase truly brings the vision to fruition. . Students, you should be so proud of your work! We saw a huge improvement in your skill set in the last year, alone. Thank you life coaches for all of your encouragement and help at home. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our parent volunteers this year, this was our smoothest showcase yet, and we couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏🏼 . Stay tuned to see highlights from our performers this year throughout the next couple of weeks!

Preparing for our Annual Student Showcase is its own little season. We spend weeks shaping our pieces, figuring out what feels natural onstage, and practicing how to breathe when the nerves try to steal the spotlight. Bit by bit, everything starts to click. By the time showcase day arrives, we’re not just performing - we’re honoring the work we’ve put in and sharing it with the people who love us most. Enjoy a second sneak peek and check out the first sneak peek if you missed it - we're getting pretty excited!
The sweat...The tears... 😭😅 (Just kidding, we don't cry.) It takes months of prep for our Annual Student Showcase. We polish our songs, learn how to manage nerves and get ready to celebrate our accomplishments with family and friends. Do you recognize this banger?? Drop it in the comments 👇🏼
There’s something magical about sound traveling through stone… like music remembering it was here long before any of us showed up. This cave organ feels almost impossible... a whole cavern becoming the world's largest instrument. Notes echoing in places our ears weren’t designed for… yet somehow it still feels familiar, like wonder has its own pitch. If you could turn any unexpected place into an instrument, what would you choose?
