We’re live at the Grand Rally for Music Education where The Roots of Music NOLA and Girls Make Beats are absolutely crushing "Superstition" with some help from a couple of friends... Victor Wooten and Chad Smith! 🥁🎸
This is the power of music education in action—bridging the gap between legends and the leaders of tomorrow. Watching these young women from Girls Make Beats and the brass powerhouse of NOLA hold their own with the best in the world is truly inspiring.
At Stage 1 Music, we believe every student deserves a stage like this. Let’s keep the music playing!

There is NO energy like a New Orleans brass band! 🎺🥁

We’re starting our Saturday at the Grand Rally for Music Education, and The Roots of Music just took the stage. Seeing these young musicians from NOLA bring that incredible soul and precision to Anaheim is the highlight of the show so far.
This is what it’s all about—empowering the next generation through music. We are feeling incredibly inspired to bring this energy back to our community at Stage 1 Music!

Tonight at , we took a break from the gear and the booths to join the Annual NAMM Drum Circle. It was a powerful reminder that music is the ultimate universal language.
Hundreds of people—regardless of race, gender identity, religion, background, or any other perceived “barrier”—came together to create one collective rhythm.
At Stage 1 Music, we believe music possesses a remarkable power to heal and bring peace to places where there is hurt and division. Seeing it happen in real-time here in Anaheim is something we’ll never forget. 🕊️🎸
