While drums and percussion are FUN to play, and there simply is nothing better than performing music with your friends in front of a live audience…there is a lot of science to back up all of the many benefits to studying music.

Announcing the grooveKSQ Spotify Playlist
There is an overabundance of choice out there when it comes to new music. That makes things tough when you are trying to find music of substance, that rewards each subsequent listen. We started the grooveKSQ Spotify playlist to highlight some historic performances that every percussionist should know about, and hopefully you discover something brand new to you that you love….

Thinking Ahead...
It’s never been easy for me to stand still.
So over the years, vacations have turned into time that I can spend planning.
When I was looking at the waves this week, I spent some time reflecting on the fact that grooveKSQ started in earnest around this time last year. The time has gone very quickly.
While groove’s first birthday isn’t really until November 1, when we opened our doors, I can now look back on the development of the business and see new opportunities for programming in 2019 and 2020.
Another series of grooveLIVE streams featuring great acoustic musicians from the area.
More private lessons.
More public performance events for students.
More partnerships with the Kennett Community and beyond.
MUCH more content creation.
In other words, there’s much more to do.
If you love music, and live performance, and want high quality experiences, come along with me for the ride.
