Web and Blog Revisions

With my humble apologies, our blog subscribers have been subject to a significant amount of junk activity in the last few weeks. Additionally, our students may have noticed a significant lack of event photos in the blog. Michelle Tuesday Music School has been undergoing a major web overhaul, which includes integration of the blog and web design all into the same WordPress platform. This is going to be fantastic for future maintenance. It’s also much better for visitor navigation and sales leads and conversions. And as my good friend and customer, Melissa, pointed out, it’s also much less purple.

Unfortunately for subscribers, there will be more bombarding to come, because I am an idiot. Continue reading “Web and Blog Revisions”

Music is important in daily life, and kids often consider listening and playing music playtime. Fun is good, but music teaches students so much more than just performance. Playing an instrument focuses fine and gross motor skills. It takes a lot of coordination and reinforces good posture. Many instruments, including voice, also require breath control. Beyond the physical, here are the benefits of music.

Music training, especially done early in life, leads to brain development for language and reasoning. This is a specific change in the left side of the brain, which processes language. Other things that music learning develops are standardized tests, math, science, spatial intelligence, and get higher grades. music teaches students so much, it is amazing that kids still find it fun and look forward to it. Take that playtime to give children something that will help them their entire lives and sign up for music lessons.

Frolic Time

Frolic Time

by Michelle Tuesday

Sammy, the little wolf-pup, loved to frolic in the sunshine and roll in the grass. It was his favorite time of day, when the trainer threw balls around for him to chase and catch. He especially liked the little light-up ball, the one that flickered every time it landed. Sammy would pick that one up and flick his head, firing the ball up and over his back, so he would have to twist to see where it landed. Sometimes, the lion cubs on the other side of the fence would wander near his pen, and Sammy would go crazy, growling and barking, showing them how mean he was. It was so much fun!

Lately, frolic time was getting weirder.  Continue reading “Frolic Time”
