What a dark day in rock history! Ozzy Osbourne, AKA the prince of darkness, has passed away today. The studio will be closed the rest of the day. Just kidding! ;) RIP Ozzy and thank you for the music!

"❄️ The weekend snowstorm tried its best, but it only managed to give us a one-day break! We're back in action today, 1/7/2025, ready to melt away those winter blues. Come on in and let's make some music—because the only thing cooler than this snow is the tunes we'll be making together! 🎶☃️"

Had a fantastic final rehearsal with MSSC (Montessori School St. Clair) today! My last-minute "even more condensed" song made the cut, so no more revisions needed. This concert is shaping up to be something special for the kids and their families—holiday classics mixed with fun highlights like the 50 states, all the U.S. presidents, and more! Less than five hours to go until showtime, and I’m doing my best to stay calm and savor the anticipation. Can’t wait for the magic to begin!

Attention: All Students and Parents

The studio will be closed on Friday, July 26,
in observance of the highly esteemed and completely unofficial
“National Musicians Day Off!”

We're taking a day to recharge our creative batteries (and maybe practice a few more scales).

Regular classes will resume on Saturday, July 27. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy your day off, too!

Stay musical and see you soon!

Hey there, fabulous learners of all things musical and marvelous!
We've got some groovy news for you that's going to jazz up your weekend plans faster than a kazoo solo at a rock concert!

Guess what? This Saturday, our one and only maestro of melodies, Warren Gilmore, won't be gracing us with his teaching prowess. Nope, he's not vanishing into thin air, folks. He's going to be spreading his musical magic on Vine Street in O'Fallon, IL, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. That's right, he's going to rock the street!

Now, before you start humming a sad tune about missing out on your lessons, hold onto your music books because we've got a spicy alternative simmering for you. Instead of twiddling your thumbs this Saturday wondering what to do, how about you embark on an epic 3-hour field trip with the one and only Warren Gilmore himself?

Picture this: you, your fellow music enthusiasts, and the rock star mentor himself, cruising around town on a musical adventure that's going to make your regular lessons look like warm-up exercises. Who needs scales when you've got actual streets to conquer, right?

So buckle up, tune up, and get ready to rock, roll, and maybe even waltz your way through a field trip that will not only teach you the notes, but might also involve some impromptu dance-offs (no promises, but a funky chicken move isn't entirely out of the question).

Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and polish those air piano skills because this Saturday it's all about the road, the rhythm, and a whole lot of laughter. Who knows, by the time Warren's back in the studio, you might have some epic tales of your rock star field trip to share!

Stay tuned (literally),
