A Great Talent Show Performance

A quick note here to congratulate E.L. on a great school talent show performance! In the history of the studio, this has happened quite a few times and it is still awesome to see every single time. E. put a lot of thought and energy into this composition and the audience certainly appreciated it! Experiences like this are hugely beneficial for the students and the students should seize any chance to perform for a live audience.

grooveFEST Spring 2025 Recap

There is no better test for a musician than performance in front of a live audience. The stars of yesterday’s performance were the students. They all prepared thoroughly, and let their playing do the talking! Thank you to all of the parents and families who provide a support system for these young performers.

Thank you to Jim Coarse at Moonloop Photography for some outstanding work capturing the event and the performers yesterday. Also special thanks to Guenevere and Calabrese Arts, it was a perfect venue for us.

Groove Performance Lab with Erik Hetzel Recap

We were lucky to have Erik Hetzel from the Sin Brothers in the studio recently to work with our students not only on performance related matters but also to answer their questions about working at a professional level: specifically auditioning and networking were big topics of conversation.

The students got an opportunity to get their questions answered and also record audio with Erik as well. 

Grooves & Brews Recap

WELL…. what an amazing turnout this afternoon for our end of summer party! Thank you to all who could attend. The students have been working hard on their material and it showed today with some really terrific (and rocking!) individual performances. There were quite a few students that came out to enjoy the afternoon and support their peers and that was also great to see.

In addition, we had a powerful djembe performance from our djembe teacher, Paco Samb, who gave us a preview of what the studio’s monthly djembe sessions are.

Finally, we had the debut performance of Ten N’ a Half, led by grooveKSQ student Evan R.

Thank you to Blondes and Brewnettes Brewing Co. for working with us on this event.

Our Fall programming announcements will be following soon!
