Celebrating Growth, Milestones, and a Season of Music
As we wrapped up the first half of the year and stepped into summer, June and July brought meaningful milestones, exciting achievements, and well-earned moments of celebration. This season reminded us that progress doesn’t pause, it simply changes pace.
Events & School News
Rock Band Concerts
In June, we hosted our Summer Band Concert right here at Little School of Music, bringing students, families, and friends together for an evening of live music and celebration.
Our rock bands took the stage to share the music they’ve been working on throughout the season, demonstrating not only strong musicianship, but confidence, collaboration, and growth as ensemble players. Performing in a band setting teaches students how to listen, support one another, stay focused, and contribute to something bigger than themselves, skills that extend far beyond music.
The energy in the room was electric, and the support from families made the night even more special. Events like this remind us why performing together is such an important part of the learning process: music is meant to be shared.
Bravo to all of our band students and directors for a fantastic concert!

This timely article explores how families can maintain momentum, motivation, and joy, especially during seasonal transitions like summer.
Summer is a powerful season in music education.
It’s a time to celebrate progress, reflect on growth, and reconnect with why we started. Whether students are practicing, listening, exploring new music, or simply taking a well-earned pause, all of it contributes to long-term development.
Progress isn’t always loud or fast, but it is always happening when students remain connected to music in some way.
Thank you for another meaningful season. I’m excited for everything ahead as we prepare for a new school year.
With gratitude,
