Big, Big News: We’re Moving!
It’s almost hard to believe how fast our music community is growing! Seriously.
We’ve nearly doubled enrollment in the past few months, and our “new” location at 5501 S. Broadway is already bursting at the seams! Though we’ll have been here only two years, we’ll move again in a few months.
We’d like stability for our students and families, so when we left our original location, we made sure to secure a lease that would have allowed us to stay for many, many years. But thanks to all of you, we are growing fast.
And as if by some wild twist of fate, our friends at AutoNation bought our shopping center. Though our lease would’ve permitted us to stay, they helped us respond to our explosive growth by letting us out of our lease early so we could move to a bigger, better spot. And the new layout is AWESOME.
If you liked Bannock Street, and you love our current location, you’ll go nuts for our new space, only 4 minutes south of our current location! And THANKS for making Littleton School of Music the fastest-growing music academy around!
Many more details coming soon.

You Are Their Greatest Teacher
When you discover the music that lights you up, you can accomplish things you never thought possible.
I wrote that near the end of the first chapter of my book, Fall In Love With Music, as a reminder that music lessons are about much more than music.
It’s true. Once music turns on a light inside a person – especially a young person – you find that person accomplishing things you never thought they could accomplish, with their
music AND within other aspects of their life.
The young pianist makes meter and rhythm part of her life, learns how integral math is to music, and suddenly her algebra grades soar.
The teen guitarist plays his first recital, hears for the first time applause directed at him, and loses his fear of public speaking.
The aspiring vocalist experiences the inspiration only first rate voice lessons can provide, and becomes passionate about a teaching career.
As parents, we want to see those lights turned on inside our kids. We want to see them find their passion, their calling. That’s because we know inspiration will be the key to a long, happy life for our children.
Music lessons are a great way to kindle passion in a young heart – passion for music, but also passion for virtually everything in life! That’s why so many parents I meet at Littleton School of Music are thrilled to see the lights come on in their children’s eyes as a result of their study of music.
We’re blessed to have some of the finest music instructors anywhere on our staff. But here’s the truth even our teachers will tell you: YOU, the young virtuoso’s parents, are her greatest teachers.
You provide the instrument. You enroll them in lessons. You facilitate the practice. YOU are instrumental in turning on those lights inside your kids! Even if they never thank you for it – even if they complain about having to practice! – it’s a fact that you are your child’s first and greatest music teacher.
So thank you for the love you share with our entire music community through the simple fact of your love for your aspiring musician. They might gush about the instructor they meet here… but your kid knows, deep down, that you are their greatest teacher.
Sincerely,
Stephan Hume (Fellow Parent) - Director of Littleton School of Music

Music Tip Of The Month:
Sing What You Want to Play!
Have you noticed what happens when they play the old Neil Diamond hit Sweet Caroline at the ballpark?
Right after the title lyric, you hear forty thousand people yell – on pitch! – something like “Bah, bah bah!” (Not sure how to spell that, but I’m sure “bah bah bah” is close enough.)
Now, those three notes are performed instrumentally on the Diamond recording… but here they are, thousands of people, “singing” the instrumental part.
As a student of instrumental music, you can take a lesson from that. (I bet you didn’t know you could take a musical lesson from the enthusiastic bellowing of baseball fans!)
To better internalize the melodies you’re learning to play on your guitar, keyboard, or even drums, simply sing along with the music you’re going to play.
You’re not “performing” a vocal recital. You’re just using the instrument you were born with – your voice – to get the melody into your brain. From there, it’s a short trip to your fingers, your pick, or your drumsticks.
