If you want to learn how to play drums then Independence School of Music is
definitely one of the music schools you want to consider. The reason is
simple, the drum teacher Erik Roszak is one of the best drum teachers in

openings for him

From Box Stores
to Baby Boomers
7/5/07 I am very excited about
few trends in the music industry. Many music school owners express concerns
about the negative impact of Big Box stores and the internet on the sale of
music instruments through music stores. Box Store customers create a short term
problem, because many of them have never stepped foot in a music center such as
Independence School of Music in Independence Ohio...
The History of Independence School of
Music.
I joined Brecksville School of Music in early 2007 to build a music retail
department, to grow the lessons business, and to improve the overall
profitability of the business. I opened Independence School of Music in
June of 2007, and I am no
longer affiliated with Brecksville School of Music.
School Instrument Rentals -
Rent-to-own
While this is the first year of operation for Independence School of Music, the
former owners of Prestige music have years of experience renting musical
instruments to band and orchestra students. Dave Kochis and Eric Dregne
also have established a fine reputation among local school system administrators
as the a good choice for band and orchestra instruments and instrument repairs
for their school orchestras...
Value of Learning to play a musical
instrument
One of the most important and rewarding "after school" activities your children
will consider. Playing music helps develop both sides of the brain. The
student not only builds artistic skill, but studies have demonstrated that math
skills are also improved among students who study music...
A Music Store Day
A typical day at the Music School is of course filled with music. Our studios
are comfortable and spacious. When the door to a music studio is closed, you can
not hear a normal conversation outside the studio... but they are not sound
proof. So snippets of music permeate the whole building...
How Long Should I Practice
One of the most asked questions is "How long should my student practice every
day"? It is natural for parents to expect their children to practice their
musical instrument if they are taking music lessons, or even if they are just
participating in the school band or orchestra...
When To Start Music
Lessons
"When you my child start music lessons"? Of course this depends on many factors.
Some experts tell us that children as young as two years of age or younger have
musical awareness and the ability to discern tone and rhythm...
Four Cleveland Area
School Districts on List of Top 100

are Berea, Ohio, Bay Village, Ohio, Cuyahoga Heights, Ohio, and Solon Ohio.
Music makes your smarter.
Your have heard about the Mozart effect that listening to Mozart improves
memory. It seems that based upon updated research, listening is not
enough. The effect lasts only about 15 minutes, and the original study may
have been flawed. Other research shows that playing music or learning to
play makes a difference. Here is some research that supports or refutes
the claims by music teachers that studying music improves school grades and
enhances brain power.
