Spring is Almost Here!

That means a lot of things! Birds, flowers, showers, flinging open the windows and singing a happy tune!

We have welcomed many new families to the studio over the past few months. Some have children who take lessons at the same time. We have multiple lesson rooms so Johnny and Suzie (not their real names!) can each take a lesson and Mom or Dad can make the most of her busy afternoon. Our student roster also includes adults who have decided that now is a good time to learn or resume playing an instrument. Often, they started as children and find the desire to pursue music is still there.

                      Now for the News: 

 Spring Recital: Sunday, May 23 at the Onset Campgrounds Function Hall: This is a fantastic opportunity for students to perform their best pieces in front of parents, family and friends. Students are encouraged to stretch their musical muscles in a performance setting. Recital times are still being discussed. If you are currently a student in the studio, you willl be approached over the next few weeks about participation and recital times.

There are a number of ways to receive communication from the studio and for us to receive feedback from our students, parents and supporters. You can email us: onsetvillagemusic@yahoo.com. We check this every day and answer all e mails regularly.

                     Also Noteworthy:

New products are being brought in every month! Currently, we have a Morpheus Droptune Pedal for sale. You can go from one pitch for a particular song to a different pitch on the next without having to retune your guitar. Jeff Lawson currently uses this pedal on his gigs and says it's fantastic. Only $199.95: these are in stock and we encourage you to bring in your own guitar and try it. We will also ship these as we are the only distributor in Massachusetts. Call for more details.

Pocket Rockits Guitar Amplifiers are in! These little amps plug right into your guitar and with the headphones (included) so you can practice your riffs anywhere! See their ad in Guitar Player Magazine. Onset Village Music is pleased to be able to offer these at $10 off the current internet pricing. Also, shopping in our store eliminates shipping charges, and you get to try and buy all in one place.

  Instrument Repairs

 

  Repair of musical instruments is available through Onset Village Music. We work with a top notch guitar repair facility that operates locally for faster service. See our posters in the studio for prices and specifics of tune ups available. Brass and woodwind instruments often need maintenance and repair. Tenon corks, pads and springs wear out or break resulting in an instrument that doesn’t sound “quite right” or will not play at all. We service all makes and models. Free estimates.

With April school vacations coming up, that would be the best time to have our instrument repairman take a look at your band student's instruments. Spring concerts are right around the corner and an instrument that is in tip top shape makes all the different at performance time.
