On Saturday, May 4th and Sunday, May 5th, we had our 3rd Michelle Tuesday Music School Annual Spring Recitals.  The weather turned out beautiful enough that on Saturday, we kept the door open to invite a warm breeze into the lobby of our music school.  Also, our staff decided to give 30 minute recital slots a trial run, and because of their convenience and relaxed feel, they were a smash hit!  Sunday saw more beautiful weather, and we were able to move outside to enjoy the excellent student music performances in the sun (Karen, our receptionist/ photographer caught a few rays while catching candids on her camera!).

At MTMS, our annual St. Patrick’s Day Party and Irish Carnival is arguably our most popular event. Students get to perform, as usual, but they also get to play carnival games, win entire cakes and bottles of pop, and win lots of other fabulous prizes.

In 2013, we took our annual St. Patrick’s Day Party one step further and added an Irish Music Festival to the lineup. Strings and guitar students were invited to participate in the Michelle Tuesday Music School exclusive event, where we taught our students Irish jigs and reels under the tutelage of MTMS instructors Tricia “Fire-Fingers” Fairman and Carolyn Sigler. If turnout is any indication, the event was a phenomenal success! We were jam-packed with audience members and game-players alike, and the Irish Festival students performed an amazing show. We also had a lineup of students performing the gamut on piano, guitar, drums, violin, flute and voice.

The week of March 11 – March 16 was Bring-a-Friend week at Michelle Tuesday Music School, where students get to invite their friend to music lessons and show off their mad music skillz. One of our more popular events, Bring-a-Friend week always results in lots of fun times, awesome photos, and delicious donuts from our neighbors, Dunkin Donuts. Students of piano, voice, violin, guitar, and even our preschool music students brought their buddies to music lessons, and Ms. Karen wowed us again with her amazing photography skills. The students and their guests received complimentary photos from their music lessons, which you may now enjoy below. Continue reading »

First, understand that this is a budget PROPOSAL and not yet legislation. Titled House Bill 59, this proposal is complicated and has a fairly large impact on small business. Whether that impact is positive or negative may still remain to be seen, and it might depend on what type of business you are.

Read the budget proposal online here, but be forewarned that it’s 4,200 pages long. Yes, I said more than four THOUSAND. PAGES. LONG. So in an effort to save you a couple days of incredibly boring reading, here’s the plan in a nutshell as it applies to small business: Continue reading »

Poblano’s was very excited to host our event and could not stop talking about how talented our students are. In fact, they asked how many of these events we could hold every year. :-) Don’t worry, Poblano’s. We’ll definitely be back. We couldn’t ask for a more gracious host for our recitals.

Debut by Libby Justice performing "Part of Your World"

Michelle Tuesday Music School held its third annual Adult-Only Valentine’s Recital on Friday, 2/8/13 from 6:30-7:30 PM in the MTMS lobby. As usual, the event was a smashing success. The recital featured a debut performance by student Libby Justice on “Part of Your World,” from The Little Mermaid and the Haslage Sisters performing a flute and clarinet duet. We also enjoyed instructors Leann Lindsay and Zach Garster singing “I Dreamed a Dream” and “Stars” from Les Miserables, as well as the faculty duo of Carolyn Sigler on violin performing Lady Gaga tunes accompanied by MTMS’s very own Zach Garster on piano. We also had performances from our Advanced Flute Ensemble, Continue reading »

Michelle Tuesday Music School held its first annual Christmas Caroling event on Friday, December 14th at 6:00 PM. The event was one of the more… interesting of MTMS events.

It started with a frantic attempt to print off lyrics sheets (oopsies for forgetting to prepare that little detail in advance) and the inevitable printer-running-out-of-ink dilemma that always plagues situations like these. Of course the lyrics sheets were too big for the stapler, for which we had to break the pliers out of the toolbox. But after much clicking, typing, printing, ink-changing, and stapler-plying, Continue reading »

Website

With my humble apologies, our blog subscribers have been subject to a significant amount of junk activity in the last few weeks. Additionally, our students may have noticed a significant lack of event photos in the blog. Michelle Tuesday Music School has been undergoing a major web overhaul, which includes integration of the blog and web design all into the same WordPress platform. This is going to be fantastic for future maintenance. It’s also much better for visitor navigation and sales leads and conversions. And as my good friend and customer, Melissa, pointed out, it’s also much less purple.

Unfortunately for subscribers, there will be more bombarding to come, because I am an idiot. Continue reading »
