On the afternoon of January 14th, MTMS is having a Winter Benefit Concert. Your entry fee for the concert is to bring one non-perishable food item to benefit GRIN (Gahanna Residents in Need). This year it will be held at St. Luke Lutheran Church.
If you’d like to be part of this concert, talk to your teacher. This is a teacher-invitation only concert. We’re very excited to hear what you all come up with.
Composition and Music History lab themes will be focused on mariachi music this month. This style of music has become popular as Mexican folk music since the 18th century. While we recognize violins and trumpets, mariachi also features a high-pitched guitar called a vihuela and a bass guitar called a guitarron. Learn more this month about this genre of music!
For our youngest students we always provide cool new coloring pages and activities to involve them with music at an age-appropriate level.
From everyone at MTMS to all of you- have a wonderful holiday. Don’t forget to play music for fun! Classes will resume next Monday, November 28th.
Welcome to 70s music! If you’re thinking Disco, you’re right on the money. However, there were also other important styles during this decade, including funk, smooth jazz, jazz fusion, soul music, rock, and punk rock.
For our youngest students, we always have new activities like coloring pages to keep them engaged with musical studies.
For composition, try something fun and unexpected by putting your own spin on that 70s music sound. If you’ve listened to ten or more disco songs and you can’t find your groove, try something else from this amazing decade of music.
For music history, learn all about what made the 70s musical hits that inspired so many musicians past and present. You just might find a new favorite among the myriad hits from this time period.
It’s been a busy weekend at MTMS! We had our recital. Pictures are on Instagram.
We are open tonight, though we expect a bunch of you might be trick-or-treating. Don’t be afraid to sing your favorite Halloween songs while you’re out, or create your own from well-known tunes.
Speaking of Halloween music, we’ve been having a war at my house. One of my kids is obsessed with Spooky, Scary Skeletons and my other kid is obsessed with the Witch Doctor. It’s a good time to enjoy the music and the holiday.
