GTR NEWS & UPDATES


With the increased enrollment our cozy waiting area is busier than ever and sometimes in all the activity things can get left behind.  Recently a few of our students have contacted us because they've misplaced books, bags and other items.

At the end of each night we do straighten up, vacuum and clean before we all go home, and when ever we find a misplaced item we will send out an email announcement letting you know.

However now is a good time to remind everyone to please take all items (books, instrument cases etc.) into your lesson room with you.  Not only will it hopefully minimize lost items but it will also make more room for the next group of students coming for their lessons
.

Student Spotlight

Picture
Julien (right) with instructor Ryan Gibler
This month we turn our Spotlight on Julien Reineke-Quinlan!

Q:  How long have you been taking music lessons?
Julien:
  One and a half years
Q:  What instrument(s) are you learning?
Julien:
  The electric bass and piano
Q: What inspired you to learn that instrument?
Julien:
  I started band in school and my favorite musician is Paul
             McCartney and so I decided to play bass.  I chose the piano
             just for fun.

Q:  Who are your favorite musical artists? 
Julien:  Paul McCartney


Q:  What are some songs you've learned to play?
 Julien:
  Back In The U.S.S.R, Come Together, Amazing Grace, Money, and the
               Harry Potter theme.

Q: What are your short and long term goals with music?
Julien: 
My short term goal is to get into the best part of my band, and my long term goal is to be
             able to play the bass and piano the best I can.

Q:  What is your favorite part about taking music lessons?
Julien: 
It is the playing part.  I love playing instruments.
Q:  What is the coolest thing you've learned in your lessons in the last 3 months?
Julien: 
How to play “Money” (by Pink Floyd)
Q:  What are some of your hobbies?  
Julien:
  Reading, soccer, and baseball.
Q:   What are some of your favorite foods? 
Julien: 
Steak, mashed potatoes, and gravy
Q:   What advice would you give to someone who wanted to start playing or learning an
       instrument?  
Julien:
  Don’t get short tempered when you can’t play a song right away.  It takes some practice. 
              In other words, don’t give up!


GTR Music Studio thanks Julien, his family and their continued support of our music programs.  Julien's younger brother Adrien recently joined our student roster and is now taking bass lessons with instructor Ryan Gibler!

Need to Reschedule Your Lesson?    Here's How...

Good News.  Thanks to many of your awesome referrals our enrollment increased this past fall and holiday season!

This also means we need to manage scheduling more closely so that we don't double book new incoming students with ones that have asked their teacher for a reschedule.

To avoid miscommunication and double-booking we are asking that:


  • Cancellations and Reschedules must be done 48 hours before your regular lesson day and time.   If you need to cancel due to a last minute emergency, please call our studio office (208-882-6733).  We will do our best to accommodate all requests. 
  • All cancellations and reschedule requests be done through our convenient online Lesson Reschedule form on our website   GTRStudio.com/Reschedule-A-Lesson.html (on the Current Student tab).

We want our new students to enjoy the same quality experience when starting lessons as each of you did.  By following this new system you will be helping a great deal as we continue to grow.
