After months of brainstorming, planning, and organizing, MTMS finally has a lineup of music summer camps on the schedule. Groups of 3-6 students will form bands and musical theatre ensembles, spend the week learning 1-3 songs, and perform them for friends and family at the end of each week, on Saturday afternoon. Our teachers and staff are excited. June can’t come soon enough, and not just because we’re tired of the rain! (Although, we are VERY tired of the rain.) Continue reading “Music Summer Camps!”

The Life of a Musician
A musician’s life is not for the faint of heart. Entertainment is a fickle business. This is no gallon of milk or gallon of gas you’re peddling. Folks don’t need music to survive, nor do they need it to get to work to earn the cash to buy the milk they need to survive.

As of this Sunday, March 27, 2011, Potbelly Gahanna in Stoneridge Plaza is no more.

Indeed, although they aren’t good for my waistline, I cannot help but munch on Berry Munches, especially since I’m surround by Girls Scouts at church and the music school. But between Do-Si-Dos and Samoas, I still play five days a week at Potbelly Sandwich Works. And as I have been playing guitar professionally for over a decade, you would think I’m pretty good at it.

Destiny
Michelle Tuesday Music School held its first annual Holiday Recitals at Potbelly, Gahanna this past weekend, on Saturday, December 11, and Sunday, December 12. Keep an eye on the News page for photos, which will be posted by the end of the week. But in the meantime, let’s talk about the performances and what they mean.
Every performer has to start somewhere. Do you think Taylor Swift was born with a guitar in her hand? Of course not. She took lessons. She took them from a private music studio in Pennsylvania. And at some point in her earlier childhood, she played – and sang – in front of an audience for the very first time. Continue reading “Destiny”
