Sound Beginnings Music Studio

First week of studio lessons has begun, and it's been fanTAStic seeing all my students again after our break between Summer and now!!! Plus, there are a couple of new ones in the mix - YAY! 😁
ENC neighbors, if you are in the Greenville area, and you have - or know someone that has - a child between the ages of zero and 5, Suzuki Tots and Explorers classes start on Saturday, 10 and 11am respectively!! Come on down! ❤🎶❤️🎶❤️

Our Summer Term is underway! Our Toddler Music class is meeting at 10:00 am on Wednesday mornings, and piano lessons are happening on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Now's a great time to give music lessons a chance while everyone's schedule is a little less hectic than during the school year. Don't hesitate to reach out here, so we can get you started on your musical journey!

Wise words from a kindred spirit; thank you, Dr. Stacey Garrepy, for your willingness to share; I hope you read through to the end. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you're interested in this kind of music education for your family! Our open enrollment classes are operating through the Summer!

"Teaching talent and skills are important in music, but talent and skills will only get a child so far; it takes character and perseverance to get the rest of the way there.

It matters more to me that a child will take time to be persistent at their instrument and keep going when they feel discouraged than inherent “giftedness.” It matters to me that a child will take the time to help another student who is struggling and lead their peers, rather than demand perfection in their performance and be angry when it doesn’t happen. It matters more to me that children go on to be lifelong music makers who want to share that love with others than any professional career aspirations they may harbor. And it matters more to me that a child enjoyed the music making involved in an audition process, rather than wrap up their identity in the results.

This is what I endeavor to teach through music. Not perfection, but excellence. Not perfectionism, but tolerance for mistakes, and a humble heart of teachability. Not pride and arrogance in talent, but gratefulness to God for the beautiful gift of music, and a heart to steward it to the best of their ability and serve others."

We're thrilled to be participating in the ENCSA End of the year concert in ECU's Fletcher Hall at 3:00 pm tomorrow, Sunday 15 May 2022! Come and join us for this free concert event!

Here at Sound Beginnings, we believe that the importance of singing and making music with children is equal to reading with them. We believe the two concepts work together, support each other, and make the other easier. Reach out to discover how we can help you promote literacy in your home and in your community.

What an exciting time we had on Saturday! Our Sound Beginnings class (birth-3.9) is growing, and we welcomed two brand new families to our Pre-Instrument Class (4-5) as well!! We're genuinely honored to be ushering in these students to the wide-open world of Music! Please contact us if you'd like to join us for our next class on Saturday, 29 January 2022!

Gearing up for our first public performance - with Eastern NC Suzuki Association, pictures to follow!

Model and build positive character traits, along with great musicianship, with our Suzuki Early Childhood Class for children ages birth to three! We meet on Saturdays, 10am, at St Gabriel's Church on Dickinson Ave in Greenville. It's a wonderful opportunity for you and your child (grandchild/niece/nephew) to learn from each other while having fun and making new friends together! Please join us this Saturday, 30 October; contact us with any questions: 252.227.0789

Since we're not having SECE class this Saturday, the 23rd, we hope you get to enjoy some fun Fall family festivities, and get the chance to give your children your full & undivided attention another way. Listen to every crazy thing they want to tell you, try some new weird food they want to try, read them their favorite book before bed - even if you don't think you can read it one more time - sing them an old favorite lullaby as you tuck them in for bed; this is a golden time, embrace every minute!

Have a wonderful week, and we'll look for you NEXT weekend, Saturday, 30 October; 10am at St. Gabriel's Church in Greenville.

It's never too early to start making progress! Please ask us how to get started on -or continue - your musical journey! Sound Beginnings Music Studio
