When you’re in the lab this week, stop by and enter our contest. We haven’t done this before, and we’d like everyone to try it. A lab attendant will help you input your entry if you need anything.
Mark your calendars, because August 28 and 29 we will have an outdoor recital! It’s probably going to be hot, but it’ll be great to see everyone. I can’t tell you how excited I am for this. If we haven’t met you yet, this is a great opportunity. If we have, we’re going to see each other again! Get ready, because we’re going to do this and it’s going to be great.
Young students: We have a few options for students to choose from — new coloring pages for the month that all have a music theme or try out songwriting skills in a new website designed specifically for interested younger kids. As always the lab attendants are available to help or elaborate on the assignments.
Composition Station: Jazz theme for June! Listen to a few jazz songs and try writing one yourself. We have a couple techniques to make the music for ‘jazzy’ and as always lab attendants are happy to assist! There are even a few advanced challenges for students who are more advanced in music theory.
Music History: June is Jazz for history, too. We wanted to tie this together with the composition station so our students could learn more and appreciate the music they’re also trying to write. Listen to popular Jazz music through the ages and read about some famous musicians. If it’s interesting to students they can feel free to try writing Jazz in the composition station! As always lab attendants are will be available and excited for any questions or new tasks.
Have a wonderful Memorial day and we hope the rest of your week is musical!
Next weekend is Memorial Day! Private students at Michelle Tuesday Music School have the option to make up their lessons that are regularly scheduled on Saturday, May 29 and Monday, May 31. Please schedule that with us when you are able.
We will miss seeing you. Have a wonderful holiday weekend, and don’t stop the music.
Daniel joins us with a wonderful musical background. He has studied violin and viola from a young age. Also he has studied with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.
Daniel’s love of music has led him to pursue more than just orchestral strings. He can teach piano, drums, and also guitars. He has participated in programs at Interlochen Arts Camp and Chamber Music Columbus.
MTMS welcomes Daniel and is very excited about his varied experience that led him here. He’s been teaching lessons for more than 5 years and we’re so happy he’s part of our school. When you see him say hello!
Music history for May is all about the Beach Boys. Listen to their music and find out about the original group members. As always, we base the information in categories by the student’s age so we don’t overload the youngsters and we give the older kids more to chew on.
The lab composition station for May is to try out Mariachi music. Mariachi music should be very upbeat, and exciting. Common instruments include acoustic guitar, violin and trumpet.
One of the best things about our themes is they change every month to allow all of us to experience new things. Enjoy our tribute to Cinco de Mayo with the Mariachi music and find some old favorites with the Beach Boys. Happy May!
