Music Compound Backstage

In this episode, we talk about our student of the week: Linda W! As one of our adult students, we've watch her transform from reserved and nervous, to outgoing and confident. Now she performs regularly with our busking group and even brings MC to her friends. 

We also discuss all the opportunities coming up this month for performers: Downtown Sarasota Alliance, Lemon Tree Kitchen, a local toy drive, Wreathes Across America, and more!

In this episode we talk about the power of music to express someone's feelings/emotions. Through the words and 🎵, music speaks when there are no words to express how we feel. Many parents want their child to learn music, but some don't realize that investing in music is more like investing in learning a language, not a math class; music becomes a tool for a child to express his or herself. It's not about playing the right notes, but using the notes you learn to express yourself.

In this episode, we discuss why adult music lessons should be different from kid lessons. Congratulations to student of the week: Dr Heitor! Busy week this week with Dr Idol + Giving Hunger the Blues. 

Last week, someone threw some shade on Music Compound. So we felt it appropriate to respond with our own message, "Why Music Compound may not be the right fit for you."

Inspire: Congratulations to Alex Krumm of Next Home Excellence on becoming our student of the week!

Collaborate: Lots of community events coming up. We are partnering with Giving Hunger the Blues & Child Protection Center

Educate: We discuss the importance of practicing your instrument & how you can use Teacher Zone to help remind you when it's time to practice.

MC in SRQ: Today we ask about favorite local ice cream shops in Sarasota. Shout out to Big Olaf!

Charlie is one of our adult piano students. He's been taking piano lessons with Ms Mary for almost a year now. He decided to start lessons in order to grow closer to his children and grand children. He always wanted to be a piano player, but life happened, can you relate? Well not he's coming in every week (even showing up early to get some extra practice) and he's slated to perform WITH his family for the holidays. We are so proud of him and thankful to share this journey with him. 

Happy national chocolate day! This week's student of the week: Charlie Hull! You rock. Also includes farm trivia Tom vs Jenny. 

Drums, Piano, Ukulele and Vocals! What can't she do? She's an incredible young lady and we love having her a part of our community. 

Awesome interview with Christina Elias from Turtles and Tees. We talk about the importance of confidence in life and how kids can find confidence through music & even clothes! 

Weekly updates, student of the week Natalia Jaramillo + what to do with a crazy schedule!

We are so excited to be speaking with Summer S! She's a vocal student, actress, and all around bright and shining start at MC. She also gives great advice: PRACTICE! Listen in as she shares how music has impacted her life and continues to inspire her.
