MUSIC TIP OF THE MONTH: PERCUSSIONISTS
As a percussionist, it’s not always easy to practice when you don’t have access to your drums, especially during spring break. A great way to keep your skills sharp without an instrument is air drumming. This technique lets you practice stick control, hand-foot coordination, and rhythm anywhere. Start by visualizing your drum kit—picture where each drum and cymbal is placed. Then, practice your stick grip, rebound, and wrist motion in the air, mimicking the exact movements you'd use on the drums. Air drum along with the music you're learning, focusing on timing, dynamics, and staying in sync with the beat. Use a metronome to help stay locked in. Air drumming helps develop muscle memory, fine-tunes your timing, and keeps you connected to the music even when you can’t physically play. Plus, you can do it anywhere—whether you're at the park, on a bus, or at home. This practice method is an excellent way to stay sharp and make the most of your time, no matter where you are!
Spring: The Season of Inspiration for Musicians
Spring is one of the most exciting times of the year for musicians, offering a fresh wave of energy and a wealth of live performances. After a long winter, the season brings a variety of concerts, recitals, and events that can reignite your creativity. From school choir and orchestra concerts to musical theater productions and professional recitals, these performances are the perfect opportunity to refresh your musical spirit and keep your inspiration at its peak.
For music students, spring can be especially draining with exams, deadlines, and year-end projects looming. This stress can make it difficult to stay motivated and lose sight of your creative goals. However, attending live performances during this time provides a much-needed balance. These events remind us of why we love music, offering fresh ideas, new styles, and diverse interpretations that reignite our passion for the art form.
Experiencing live music in person is essential to keeping your musical "jar" full. Whether it’s a local choir performance or a full-scale musical production, these events provide exposure to new sounds and ideas that can inspire your own playing or composition. Plus, they offer the chance to connect with other musicians and gain new perspectives on the music world.
To find performances near you, keep an eye on local websites, Facebook events, and flyers posted around town. We also display upcoming performances on our bulletin boards and share them in our newsletters. Don’t forget to join us for our upcoming recital this summer, it’s a perfect way to experience and celebrate the talent in our community!
Parker Music Academy: Creating a Warm, Colorful Atmosphere for Music Lovers
At Parker Music Academy, we believe that the space where you learn is just as important as the lessons themselves. That’s why we’re painting vibrant murals in each of our lesson rooms! These artistic additions celebrate the unique instruments we teach and reflect the personalities of our students, helping create a colorful, energetic environment where creativity can thrive.
Our murals are part of our ongoing effort to make our space feel welcoming and inspiring. We hope they bring a sense of excitement and warmth to every student who steps into our academy. Whether you’re practicing, learning, or just relaxing between lessons, the environment plays a big role in sparking creativity and enthusiasm. These murals are designed to inspire, foster connection, and add character to our already vibrant academy.
We’re proud to collaborate with Eric Weatherford, the artist behind these murals. His creativity and talent have brought a fresh, dynamic look to our academy, making each room feel more alive. To learn more about his work, visit his website at oddwallpainting.com. His murals embody the spirit of artistic expression that we embrace here at Parker Music Academy.
The artwork is just one way we’re enhancing the student experience here at Parker Music Academy, and we’d love your input! If you have any suggestions on how we can further improve our space and make it even more comfortable, please let us know. We are always striving to improve, and your feedback is a crucial part of making our academy the best it can be for our students.
Take a look at the photos included to see some of our murals in action, and stay tuned for more updates as we continue to make our academy a place where music and art come together! We are excited to share these changes with you and look forward to seeing how these murals enhance your experience at Parker Music Academy!
