Meet Nathan Pugh and Phil Sanders. Nathan is a voice student of mine and Phil is a dear friend and fellow musician, songwriter, and engineer. I have been writing songs for years and decided to begin the journey with some of my private voice and piano students. Nathan was the first to have the opportunity to go record in Phil's home studio, where I've had the privilege of working on many projects in the past. Songwriting is such a creative outlet, an avenue to express ideas, emotions, to impact lives in wonderful ways. I wanted my students to have the opportunity to learn how to do all of that, AND I wanted them to be able to experience the extraordinary process of recording their masterpiece to keep forever! I can't even begin to tell you how hard these children have worked, and some of the ideas they've come up with... well, it has been enough to make this grown woman weep. While brainstorming through this project, we've decided to record all of the material, make a CD, and sell them to friends, family, and anyone who would like to hear the thoughts and ideas put to music of these young spirits. The proceeds from the sales will go into my Tots and Tunes Music Fund, which provides quality music classes and materials for families with special needs and financial strain.
Private lessons are a terrific choice for any age. Time and again, research proves a strong correlation between music instruction and higher test scores, greater attention and focusing skills, stronger self-esteem, and better spatial-temporal reasoning. And, with the Tots and Tunes approach, it's just plain fun! Learning fundamentals, songwriting, performing in recitals, recording... what a blast! YOU could do it to, so call and find out more today!
Making music matter,
Jen
