GTR Holiday Showcase a Success!

Guitar trio performs Chanuka Song

So PROUD of our students who participated in our Holiday Showcase at the Moscow Chamber of Commerce during this years "Light Up The Night" holiday parade. They did a fantastic job and drew people in from street! Chamber director Gina Taruscio was so impressed that she's asked us to do it again next year!

What happens inside musicians' brains
when they play? by Anita Collins

Ever wonder hat happens inside musicians' brains when they play?

When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you actually play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout. What's going on? Anita Collins explains the fireworks that go off in musicians' brains when they play, and examines some of the long-term positive effects of this mental workout.

This cool TED-Ed video explains it all. CLICK HERE to check it out!

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! For those of you that have Monday lessons, you've no doubt noticed that the waiting are is fuller than before and that lesson rooms are all in full use.

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.

GTR Has A
New Look!

We've been getting many compliments on the fresh new look of our studio. Inside and out returning students are enjoying the warm and inviting color scheme, new carpeting, and sleek signs that point the way to quality and fun music education on the Palouse.

We’d like to thank Steve of Cutting Edge Signs, Gary Willet, Ron Williams, Emma Karel, and T.W. Patrons for their expertise and enthusiasm in making GTR an even more fun and comfortable environment for your music education experience!

Here are a few photos of our remodel to date...
