I Forgot How Good They Are

Dear ,

It’s that time of year again. Spring is in the air… and pollen too. People are spending more time outside, patios are filling up, and bands are back to playing the patio scene.

I got to see a couple of our teachers perform this past weekend with their cover band, Dog Mullet. They just launched an Instagram page, too, if you want to follow along, @dog.mullet_atl.

I see them all the time in the day-to-day, teaching lessons, connecting with students, and showing up for our team, so it’s easy to get used to that version of someone. But standing there watching them on stage felt different. They were confident, completely locked in, feeding off the energy of the room and each other. You could feel how much they love what they do. And even though I already know how talented they are, I still found myself thinking… wow. I forget how good they are sometimes.

It also made me think about our students.

When you take lessons with someone who is actively performing, you’re not just learning music in a technical sense. You’re learning from someone who understands what it feels like to be in it, the nerves, the recovery when something doesn’t go as planned, and the ability to stay present and keep going. That experience shows up in how they teach, how they prepare students, and how they help build real confidence over time.

This year, we’ve been talking a lot about connection through music, and I was reminded of that watching them play. The connection between the band members, the connection with the audience, and the connection to the music itself is real. And that’s exactly what our teachers bring into their lessons every day.

It made me feel really grateful for the team we’ve built, and excited for the students who get to learn from them.

If someone came to mind while you were reading this, a friend, a neighbor, a family member who’s been thinking about music lessons, we’d love to meet them. We’re currently offering $50 off the first month for both families when you refer someone new, and it’s one of our favorite ways to grow our community.

If you’ve been thinking about lessons for yourself or your family, this is a great time to get started.
