October 10th (Today!) is National Hug a Drummer Day!
Obviously, you can't really hug a drummer right now, but you can tell a drummer how awesome you think they are...and maybe a high five with some hand sanitizer afterwards?
See also some tips on how to take care of your drums during Covid.

Why take music lessons?
When you or your child learn how to play music, it's more than just learning notes on a page.
Music is math. Learning how beats divide into different rhythms helps students understand fractions and patterns.
Music builds patience & confidence. It forces you to focus and constantly strive for improvement.
Music is a path to other cultures. Learning about music from around the world helps to build an appreciation for people you may never meet in real life.
Music builds community. Music students build supportive relationships with their teachers, fellow musicians and people they meet along the way.
An investment in music isn't just buying an instrument, it's an investment in you and your child's future. Ask us how we can connect you to a teacher that will positively impact your student for the rest of their lives!
Congratulations to our February Student Spotlight...Christine Joerg!
