Recital Sign Up!

Recitals are just around the corner – August 26-28. Sign up here. Please remember your final recital time will be sent to you on August 20.

MTMS has many planned activities for the weekend. Start off with the beach volleyball, move on to the duck pond and lollipop tree, snap a pic at our selfie station and you’ll be well on your way. There will also be sidewalk chalk, sand art, beach bingo, a ring toss, and a prize table. Don’t be surprised to see someone taking more official pictures.

Scales and Arpeggios

Building blocks of music theory, these are important for practice and knowledge. Do you get bored doing them the same all the time? Mix it up. Play for fun. Here are a couple of videos to check out some possibilities. Can you create more?

One of the best things about the building blocks of music is even playing with them for fun, we get better on our instrument and increase our knowledge of what we can do. I know a lot of this is on piano, but you could try the patterns on other instruments to see how it feels. Enjoy your time with your music!
