Stephen McCool's In-Home Music Lessons

02/23/2026

Hello extraordinary clients,

Exciting opportunity alert!

March 2026 will be Mr. Stephen McCool's "Bring-A-Friend Month."

For the entire month of March, students may invite a friend to sit in on their weekly music lesson, for the entire lesson or a partial lesson, completely free of charge. They'll get to see me teach and try some musical activities alongside their best bud.

In addition, for my student who invites the most friends to their lessons, they will receive a "$20 gift card of their choice."

Start spreading the word today. I hope to meet your friends soon.

Happy Practicing!!

Hello wonderful clients,

As a New Year’s Resolution, I’m determined to get more voice students excited about classical singing, and not just musical theatre.

To that end, here’s a sampling of the amazing Isabel Leonard singing “Non più mesta” ("No longer sad") from Rossini's La Cenerentola.

Please leave a comment listing other arias, art songs, or classical singers you’d like to see posted on my FB page.

Happy Practicing!

Hello clients (and prospective clients),

I’ve been thinking about my teaching studio’s "core values." Also, I’ve been thinking about all the wonderful activities available to my students outside of music lessons. On that note, I wanted to list three programs with values particularly similar to my own: OAKE, Scouting America, and Junior ROTC.

Organization of American Kodály Educators
https://www.oake.org/about-us/mission/

Scouting America
https://www.scouting.org/about/

JROTC, U.S. Army Cadet Command (ROTC)
https://www.usarmyjrotc.com/army-junior-rotc-program-overview/

I don’t want this to be a giant post, so I’ll simply state “the mission of OAKE.”

“to support music education of the highest quality, promote universal music literacy and lifelong music making, and preserve the musical heritage of the people of the United States of America through education, artistic performance, advocacy, and research.”

Also, I’d be honored if my clients could share some of their core values in the comments. Let’s build a teaching studio we can all be proud of.

Hello all,

I wanted to share the latest article I wrote for my studio's July newsletter. It's all about music student motivation in private lessons and what parents might do to help me improve it.

Hello McAmazing clients,

As all my students are taking things a little slower in the summertime, which is fine by me, I wanted to share some of my colleagues' thoughts on setting goals and how they relate to motivation.

Setting the correct goals at the correct time in a student's musical training is key to successful, long-term enjoyment of music making. For more thoughts on this topic, please read the following article:

https://bulletproofmusician.com/the-best-type-of-goals-for-more-success-in-the-year-ahead/?highlight=goal%20of%20self%20motivation

As always, I'm happy to chat about how my students are progressing in their lessons.

Enjoy!
