October Themes!

October music history: For Music History this month we wanted to cover a more advanced topic. Minor keys, learn about what they are, how they are used in music, and listen to some examples. If you have any questions please ask a lab attendant!

Young Students Blurb: This month we have brand new coloring pages for October! We also have a fun new website with ear training games. Use them to learn about pitch, melody, rhythm, and more! If you have any questions, be sure to ask your lab attendant!

October composition: For composition this month we are talking about minor keys. Minor keys have a very unique sound that is kinda like Halloween. Listen to some examples of songs with minor keys (including Let It Go from Frozen!) and trying writing your own music. As always if you have any questions ask a lab attendant.

Halloween Playlist Announcement!

MTMS will be publishing a Halloween YouTube Playlist on Sunday, October 31st. If you want to participate, videos are due by Monday, October 25th to your teacher or MTMS Reception. All polished, performance-ready pieces are encouraged, even very simple pieces and/or non-Halloween related pieces. Costumes are encouraged!!

Welcome Jovi Prater!

MTMS is excited to have Jovi as part of our receptionist staff. She’s interested to grow into new opportunities and learn from all of the experiences. She’s friendly and competent. She’s worked in similar positions outside of the music school, and her knowledge is a great fit for our current needs.

Please introduce yourself to her when you see her. We encourage friendliness and a good atmosphere.

Summer Beach Recital 2021

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, our Summer Beach Recital did not proceed as planned. We had to cancel the in-person recital. In response to this cancellation, we asked each of the students who signed up to participate to submit a video of them playing their recital piece so we could insert them into a compilation. Please watch said playlist below and revel in the music presented by our students.

September Themes

Composition in September: This month we are going to talk about national anthems. Learn about what makes them sound the way they do, and take a shot at writing your own. Don’t worry we have plenty of examples and techniques to help you out. And if you have any questions please ask your lab attendant!

Music History in September: All about national anthems – Read about what National Anthems are and what makes them sound like they do. If you have questions – your lab attendant is ready and waiting to help.
