Settling-In, Rocking-Out
Boy, what a difference a YEAR makes! If you are just joining us, you may not realize it, but we just survived one of the WILDEST times in the history of our school’s existence.
In January 2020 we took the leap. We turnedon our lights at a brand new facility around the corner from Littleton High School. We built out the whole thing. Paint was drying and honestly so were a few tears (of joy). We had TONS of lesson rooms, lounge space, and PARKING!
Then the unthinkable happened. In 2021 our shopping center was sold to a car dealership. Say goodbye to parking! We had to find a new place for our school AGAIN, and FAST! Can you believe it?
After a LOT of work we are happy to present our new home. We are in Broadridge Shopping Center, next to Andy’s Ice Cream. It has been a very warm welcome. Thank you ALL who came with us and for your patience with our move and parking debacle...YOU ALL ROCK!

So Many Musical Ladder Success Stories
If you have been to the front of our music school, what hits you first? A big pile of TROPHIES! Why? Because the first thing we want you to know is that we celebrate your success. The Musical Ladder system is designed to do just that. You or your child have a chance to “level up” every few months, including certificates, wristbands, and custom trophies at select intervals.
The levels begin at Apprentice and then work their way through Song Bird, Musician, Rock Star, Allegro, Vivace, Prodigy, Maestro, Master, Superior, Champion, Superstar, and finally the 5-year trophy...PRIMA!
The success of every one of you is celebrated in a fun way. Of course, the main idea is that the longer you play music, the more fun it gets. In fact, see the MUSIC TIP column on the inside of this newsletter for more about this amazing fact.
Success stories keep flowing here every single day. Every day a student who passes a challenge or “test” that is completely customized. And then, each student has earned the next level (or rung) up the Musical Ladder. As I write this, there is a pile of trophies going out just this week. Forgive us for not listing everyone, but just as an example here:
Songbird Level: Congratulations to Emilio M., Zachary H., Aiden H., Kaitlyn W., Elena M., and Kinley H. for their 6 MONTH success!
Rock Star Level: Congratulations to Jack S.,Landon T., Jenny H., Alex D., Chi I., and Holly H. for their 12 MONTHS of success in the our school!
Prodigy Level: Way to go Turner M., and Grace L. for knocking it out of the park at the 24 MONTH mark!
It’s true that music is its own reward. After 25 years of playing music, I just keep feeling an internal sense of joy and reward to learn to sing and play
various instruments at higher levels. One of the main goals of our music school is simple: Improve Life Through Music. And one of the ways to do that, we hope you will agree, is to watch each and every one of you GROW in your musical achievements and to be able to share that with others in more than one tangible way.
So what are YOU waiting for? If you have not yet joined, consider joining our music school to see how YOU can also be celebrated for your ongoing success. Kids and adults LOVE getting a trophy. Many times, for the first time. - S. H.

Music Tip Of The Month:
Patience Over Talent
How many of you, by show of hands, think or have thought that in order to learn to play music you need “talent?” Ah, I see many of you raised your hand. That makes sense. After all, with shows like “America’s Got Talent” and ideas like “Talent Shows” in general, I don’t blame you.
But what if I told you that “talent” has almost nothing to do with achieving skills in music?
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve seen a LOT of talent. I have seen students who, when shown something ONCE can repeat it back almost verbatim. My jaw always drops. But, show me someone with a lot of that skillset and I can show you someone with a LOT more proficiency that works a lot harder to get there.
It’s like most things in life, time and patience win the day. But we also live in a world that constantly preaches easy over difficult. Quick over slow. Fast results over results that might take us a long while to cultivate.
But I’m here to tell you, the same people who don’t try to play music for lack of magic fairy dust (a.k.a. “talent”) are the same that wish years later that they would have just “stuck with it.” I’ve got good news...
...You can always turn it around. Give yourself grace, pick it up again, dust off the voice or instrument, and like my favorite guitar player Tommy Emmanuel says when asked for playing advice: “Get to work!” - Cheers, S.H.
