Musicology and the MDA Musicology and the MDA are back together in hopes to raise money for many MDA campers! In this issue and issues to come we will feature one MDA camper. We will learn about each camper and continue to learn about the benefits of supporting this great organization. Last year we raised over $2,000. With your help we hope to exceed that number and brighten the lives of those associated with MDA. You can donate at www.musicologyschoolofmusic.com under the Donate to MDA section. MDA’s summer camp program, which is offered at no charge to families, helps bring smiles and hope to about 60 Alabama children and hundreds of children across the country each summer. Kids like B.J. look forward to this one barrier free week all year! At MDA Summer Camp, everything is adapted to what they can do. They are constantly encouraged and celebrated as they dance, swim and fly!

What instrument do you take at Musicology? Piano 2. How long have you taken lessons? 4 years 3. What are your hobbies, besides music? I like to play sports like football, basketball, baseball, and soccer. 4. What is your favorite food? Cheeseburgers 5. What is the coolest thing you’ve learned in your lessons in the past 3 months? Playing with rhythms 6. What do you like about your teacher? Quentin is funny and cool  Teacher of the Month: JESSIE GOOD 1.What are the things you like the most about teaching? I love the feeling when a student is able to conquer a difficult technique or song. It’s a great feeling to know I helped them reach that goal. And teaching is great because I get to play music all day and share my love of music with others. 2. How do you inspire students to practice more? Well, for starters i keep candy in my studio... it comes in handy. My students always have their eye on it. However, in all seriousness i try to inspire/challenge my students to practice more by encouraging them and trying to help them see how much they have improved after consistent practice, and I try to show them the rewards of practicing... which sometimes includes choosing a prize from the famous Candy Box. 3. What part do you feel that playing or singing in a group has in a student’s development? Well, music enages the entire brain, and has many benefits both physical, and mental. But as far as playing and singing together music can be a bridge, so to speak. Its an easy way to connect to others and build strong lasting friendships, while engaging the mind in something beautiful and constructive. 4. What is your favorite type of music? I like folk, classical, indie, rock, jazz... I like it all really. It’s hard to pick a favorite. It depends on what day it is. Haha Group Make Up Class Schedule for September
