And just like that…we’re back. 🎹✨
Our first week of lessons is officially in the books.
There were new classes, new music, new ensembles, new routines—and plenty of moments where someone had to try something they couldn’t quite do yet.
Which is exactly where this year’s theme begins:
**PLAY WITH COURAGE.**
Because courage in music doesn’t usually look like being fearless.
Sometimes it looks like playing the first note.
Trying again.
Joining the ensemble before you’re completely sure of your part.
Letting something sound a little messy while you’re learning it.
Or saying, “I don’t know how to do this yet”—and then discovering that you can learn.
This year at Playtime Music Academy, we’re practicing more than music.
We’re practicing what it feels like to meet something unfamiliar with curiosity, persistence, and courage.
Week One: complete. 💛
Let’s see where the music takes us.
