Yesterday, we hosted our first student recital and what a great day it was! The students all performed well, and it was really gratifying to see the groove community physically together in one space.
Hello Sunday Morning!
Sundays and Mondays are big days around the studio here…and everyday I teach (and every day in fact), I practice what I preach to my students: GET THE STICKS IN YOUR HANDS EVERYDAY. There simply is no substitute for daily practice. Even if your practice sessions are on the shorter side, i.e. 20 minutes a day, the cumulative effect of practicing every day will become apparent over time.
In other words, practicing everyday yields more growth faster as a player.
Very much looking forward to seeing some of the students perform at Saturday’s recital….
Supporting grooveKSQ Just Got Easier!
We have been working hard behind the scenes to build grooveKSQ into a community partner that will provide percussion and arts education programming and performances for a long time to come. Our ability to do that, however, depends on financial support from the community, in addition to revenue generated from teaching individual and group lessons.
Finally, we can announce that grooveKSQ has entered into a fiscal sponsorship agreement with Fractured Atlas, which is one of the largest non-profit support organizations in the United States. What that means to you is that you can now make donations to grooveKSQ that are fully tax deductible.
Below is a video detailing our mission statement. Please take a look and then consider making a tax deductible donation to grooveKSQ. Many, many thanks for your support!!
Use your talents everyday.
