Put down your kid, and pick up your instrument!
Mom Band is a great new opportunity for local moms to get together and play music that we like. If you play an instrument or sing and want to improve upon your skills while having fun at the same time, then join us!
Classes will meet Tuesdays, 11am-noon at the Crescenta Canada YMCA, Lighthouse Room. There is a $60 monthly participation fee.
If the band gets fairly good, we’ll consider performing at community or local school events and perhaps raise money for causes important to us.
First class is Tuesday, March 6.
To reserve your spot, contact Joletta: 818-441-9662.
It’s not about selecting an instrument and taking private lessons for a decade. Well, okay, I did do that with piano, but I also took a lot of other paths, too, that made music learning enjoyable, interesting and long-lasting. Like the year I took harmonica lessons in college, or the summer I spent exploring the trumpet – did I become great at those instruments? No way! But the experiences helped contribute to my overall musicianship.
For example, the two years I played oboe in jr. high band class really helped me understand breath control as a singer today. The summer of drum class in high school improved my rhythm at the piano. My recent guitar practice has made my left hand stronger, which helps me execute difficult left-hand passages on the piano. Playing with other musicians, performing, writing music, studying more advanced theory and music history, it all helps me grow as a musician, and the same can be true for your child.
