Summer Camp 2019 Success!
It’s hard to believe it’s already over.
Every year a parent will pull us aside and tell us, “You know, I had no idea my child could ever write a song.” And yet, there they were. On stage. Under the lights. Playing a song they helped write.
Summer camp for us is more than just “lessons in the summer.” It is a wild, one-week ride for select students to stretch their musical abilities. On day one they are put in a band. That is on a Monday.
That Saturday they play a live show.
It is hard to even put into words what it feels like to see the end result. Over the course of a summer camp week, there are multiple seminars, a field trip, and just over 17 hours of band practice. It is a lot of work. And a TON of fun.
Congratulations to all of you boys and girls who made our hearts soar, our ear plugs necessary, and our pride increase to new volumes! You all played an amazing show and we will never forget it.

The power of music lessons is almost too great to measure. Study after study proves that music lessons help to boost test scores, increase math ability, grow confidence, and more. The founder of Littleton School of Music knows all too well what it means to love music while not being able to have access to music lessons. That was how he grew up.
Finally, after searching for the perfect way to help select families in our community, we are launching a scholarship that is good for a full year of music lessons with our amazing, professional teachers.
Mortgages Funding Music was started by Christopher Lawhead. He is a Colorado native, former teacher at Littleton School of Music, and expert financial consultant. Having found a passion for two things that make life better (music and home ownership), he decided to give back by blending them into a scholarship.
We interviewed Mr. Lawhead to learn more about this amazing gift of music lessons and why he decided to do it.
LSM: “Chris, what inspired you to start the MFM scholarship?
CL: “For years as a young adult I taught music lessons and tutored mathematics. Occasionally, I’d have a student that had to quit because of the cost. It broke my heart to see a young, motivated, excited student quit for financial reasons. So I promised myself when I reached a level of financial success, I’d start a music scholarship. Now that I’m deep into a Real Estate career as a Mortgage Broker, I can finally offer my scholarship. It’s a beautiful thing when a dream becomes a reality!
LSM: “What sorts of people should be nominated?”
CL: “Motivated, hard working, excited kids that have the passion and drive to work on their art and just need help paying for lessons.
LSM: “How do you tie mortgages and music together as related items?
CL: I’m in the business of improving peoples lives, just like Littleton School of Music. My Mortgage Team and I have built something special, and through the fruits of our efforts we get to support our community in creative and heart felt ways. Our business formula is simple; deliver results, offer expert options and advice, and improve peoples lives.
What I love about my Mortgage Team at Excel Financial is the same thing I love about Littleton School of Music. It’s clear both companies genuinely care about their clients and work relentlessly to offer the best possible experience. This is why Littleton School of Music was the perfect school to launch our scholarship. We’re honored to rub shoulders with such an amazing local business and look forward to growing this scholarship!

PET OF THE MONTH: “Po”
A Cat Who Loves Heavy Metal Music
Do you have a pet you would like to show off? Dogs, cats, fish, lizards, horses...it doesn’t matter to us! Whatever animals are making your world a happier place are all eligible to be featured here.
This month’s “Pet of The Month” is Po, pet of student Aidan W. Po is a cat. He wrote us an email and didn’t even have to use spell-check. It goes something like this:
Hi! My name is Po. I have a split-colored face, one half is is grey and the other is white. My tail is completely grey, except for the tip, which is pure white!
My favorite spots to be scratched are on the side of my neck and on the top of my head. I also love belly rubs!
My favorite pastimes include eating, sleeping, and staring out the window. And of course, I love the band SLAYER!
Want us to feature YOUR pet next month? Submit your pet name, photo, and fun facts to: info@littletonmusiclessons.com
