How music changed Linda's life + School News

In this episode we talk about the power of music to express someone's feelings/emotions. Through the words and ?, music speaks when there are no words to express how we feel. Many parents want their child to learn music, but some don't realize that investing in music is more like investing in learning a language, not a math class; music becomes a tool for a child to express his or herself. It's not about playing the right notes, but using the notes you learn to express yourself. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/music-compound/message

Music isn't just about playing the right notes

Charlie is one of our adult piano students. He's been taking piano lessons with Ms Mary for almost a year now. He decided to start lessons in order to grow closer to his children and grand children. He always wanted to be a piano player, but life happened, can you relate? Well not he's coming in every week (even showing up early to get some extra practice) and he's slated to perform WITH his family for the holidays. We are so proud of him and thankful to share this journey with him.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/music-compound/message
