Moving Music Mailer: April 2019
"Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours."
-Elton John
Hello Friends!
As you may have seen in a previous email, we are MOVING!! This is a very exciting change for us and we wanted to express again how glad we are to have your support. You are what has enabled us to expand so much and share our love for music with so many different kinds of people! We hope for a seamless transition with no interruption to lessons starting THIS Monday, and are planning to hold an Open House at the beginning of May for anyone who wants to check out the new digs.
Our relocation isn’t the only thing happening this month, although it sure is the biggest. Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with all the cool things happening both inside the school and out, and as always, thank you for being here!

Fun Fact: Anderson was a professional dancer for 7 years!
While at GAMA, Anderson has been working hard on his jazz piano skills, and played at the Stay Gold jazz jam for the first time after just over a year of lessons. Rock on, Anderson!

Along with the move to a bigger space, we’re also planning to add a lot more events and activities for students of all ages! If you have an idea you’d like to share with us, feel free to send us an email. We would love to provide an even richer musical experience at our school as we move forward!
