Our theme this month is 2000s pop. I remember many of these songs – doesn’t it only take about 20 years to become classic? Welcome to 2025, and I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
Listen with your students or ask them what they picked up in their lab stations. They may surprise you and be writing a fun pop song like the early 2000s. Chime in with your favorite tunes from that time period.
Our Winter Benefit Concert was a success! Thank you to everyone who performed and supported our students. Also a huge shout-out to GRIN! Brenda represented GRIN and was overjoyed to take all of the food donations.
We can’t wait to see you again next year for our benefit concert – and next week for lessons.
We hope you can join us. GRIN is our charity of choice – we’ve had a few events to help them in the last year. This concert’s performers are chosen by teacher invitation only, but everyone is welcome to enjoy the music.
A good friend of mine started talking about a didgeridoo, and about playing it in the neighborhood at sunrise. The fun of this idea was so much that I ended up buying one for my friend.
So I asked for a lesson from Michelle, and she thought that was a joke. I ended up unfolding the story about the friend with the didgeridoo. She referenced the front page of the website that specifically mentions we don’t do didgeridoo lessons at MTMS.
Michelle has a soft spot for music. I asked not too far before the anniversary open house, and last Monday I had a didgeridoo lesson. Michelle’s explanation hinged around my past experience with the trumpet. While I practiced making a sound, Michelle found a video that showed so many more things I could do with a didgeridoo.
Thanks, Michelle, for giving me more life goals! (Link leads to the great video she found in my lesson.)
MTMS is closed for in-person music lessons today. Virtual lessons will proceed as scheduled. You may switch to a virtual lesson today if you notify us by 2pm. Otherwise, our receptionists will automatically bank a makeup for today’s lesson, which may be scheduled at your convenience*.
Musically,
Michelle and the MTMS Staff
*banked makeups expire one year after the absence date, or upon the withdrawal of the absent student, whichever comes first.
