(A) continues to love his drum lessons at The New City School of Music. I recently told you all about his fabulous experience in earning his first TROPHY at his 6 month test. Shortly there after came his June Performance. Just as in the past he and Andrew worked to pick the right song to work on. (A) made a list of 5-6 songs that he was interested in with RNYD, and then brought them in. He and Andrew went over them and made his choice.
(A) really knocked his last performance out of the park. He was a really new music student at that time, only 3 months in. He played “We Will Rock You” and had a little trouble playing along with the music but kept great time. We chalked that up to nerves, and he really really did well for such an inexperienced kid. We were so much more than pleased, it was fabulous.
Andrew and (A) worked tirelessly to come up with “fills” to change things up throughout the new song, a new challenge since his previous number was a constant rhythm. He also worked on playing along in time with the song, if he ever fell off track, finding his way back on his own. This was a BIG step for him as a player.
Going into the performance, he knew he was ready. Andrew helped him to feel super confident and we couldn’t wait to see his progress. Well, we were impressed the first time this time we were blown away. You would NEVER have thought he was a 7 year old child who had only been playing for 7 months. He was professional and got through the whole song with no bumps.
He looked calm and the most fabulous thing happened. Andrew who we know loves what he does, and does it so well, who is so positive with (A), did the most amazing thing. He rocked during (A)’s performance. We happened to catch it on video and on film (to see the film check out our YouTube Channel), but he was really enjoying it, and having fun. We thought we were proud, but man could you see the pride on his face.
Andrew is a shining example of all that is wonderful about The New City School of Music. They are true professionals. Their concerts are well organized, and pleasurable. All the teachers are lovely and stop to smile. The office staff accommodating and personable. They welcome their students, have a lovely waiting room where siblings can color or watch a show while we wait. They are so organized its unbelievable (like how they gave us a binder that had their whole year of classes laid out when we first registered). I deal with a LOT of businesses and they blow me away constantly.
In fact, in June I received a communication that I was super surprised to receive. The school recognizes that people go on vacation and are very busy over the summer, at the same time, they know that continuing with your studies is EXTREMELY important. They sent out a schedule for makeups to be sure that all students could find a way to keep their lessons up during this crazy time. It was because of this newsletter that I realized we couldn’t keep our regular lesson time because the kids don’t get off the bus from camp in time, so we were able to shift it to make it work. I am very thankful that we did, it works out perfectly, and will also be great this fall.
