Today I thought I would deviate from my normal lesson post on guitar, bass, or drum concepts. I’ve been thinking lately how lucky we are to have such a loyal student base. Some of our students have been with us for 10 plus years. We get to work with a wide range of students with different interests, age levels, and experience levels. Part of what makes the job so rewarding is the wide variety of people we get to see. It never gets boring when day after day we are exposed to such a unique set of interested.

Another perk of the job as a music teacher is how we get to keep our ears sharp. Thanks to my students I actually know who Billie Eilish, Big Thief, and Muse are. I get to dig in to the songs, learn them and teach them. I then get to absorb and assimilate some of the ideas and they inevitably come out when I’m back to writing my own music! Amazing. Without this constant exposure to new music, I would probably have been stuck on the music I listened to when I was a kid and budding guitar enthusiast.. primarily bands like Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Soundgarden and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Anyhow, that’s my brief ramble for today. Thanks for the continued support Blue Guitar Studio students and for taking time to pursue such a rewarding, timeless and healing hobby as music.

Have a great day and well see you at your next lesson.
