St. Patrick’s Day Party, Irish Carnival & Festival

At MTMS, our annual St. Patrick’s Day Party and Irish Carnival is arguably our most popular event. Students get to perform, as usual, but they also get to play carnival games, win entire cakes and bottles of pop, and win lots of other fabulous prizes.

In 2013, we took our annual St. Patrick’s Day Party one step further and added an Irish Music Festival to the lineup. Strings and guitar students were invited to participate in the Michelle Tuesday Music School exclusive event, where we taught our students Irish jigs and reels under the tutelage of MTMS instructors Tricia “Fire-Fingers” Fairman and Carolyn Sigler. If turnout is any indication, the event was a phenomenal success! We were jam-packed with audience members and game-players alike, and the Irish Festival students performed an amazing show. We also had a lineup of students performing the gamut on piano, guitar, drums, violin, flute and voice.

Enjoy the photos from the event below. Continue reading “St. Patrick’s Day Party, Irish Carnival & Festival”

Bring a Friend to Music Lessons Week

The week of March 11 – March 16 was Bring-a-Friend week at Michelle Tuesday Music School, where students get to invite their friend to music lessons and show off their mad music skillz. One of our more popular events, Bring-a-Friend week always results in lots of fun times, awesome photos, and delicious donuts from our neighbors, Dunkin Donuts. Students of piano, voice, violin, guitar, and even our preschool music students brought their buddies to music lessons, and Ms. Karen wowed us again with her amazing photography skills. The students and their guests received complimentary photos from their music lessons, which you may now enjoy below. Continue reading “Bring a Friend to Music Lessons Week”

Governor Kasich’s Budget Plan – Small Business Impact

First, understand that this is a budget PROPOSAL and not yet legislation. Titled House Bill 59, this proposal is complicated and has a fairly large impact on small business. Whether that impact is positive or negative may still remain to be seen, and it might depend on what type of business you are.

Read the budget proposal online here, but be forewarned that it’s 4,200 pages long. Yes, I said more than four THOUSAND. PAGES. LONG. So in an effort to save you a couple days of incredibly boring reading, here’s the plan in a nutshell as it applies to small business: Continue reading “Governor Kasich’s Budget Plan – Small Business Impact”

Valentine’s Recitals 2013 – Saturday Performances

Michelle Tuesday Music School held its third annual Valentine’s Recitals at Poblano’s Mexican Restaurant in Reynoldsburg on Saturday, February 9 and Sunday, February 10. The audience enjoyed the delicious offerings and colorful setting of Poblano’s while being entertained by the finest young musicians in Columbus. The recital featured performances by students playing drums, piano, guitar, violin, bass, drums, flute, saxophone and cello, as well as plenty of vocalists and a performance by one of our student bands. Poblano’s was very excited to host our event and could not stop talking about how talented our students are. In fact, they asked how many of these events we could hold every year. :-) Don’t worry, Poblano’s. We’ll definitely be back. We couldn’t ask for a more gracious host for our recitals.
