Student of the Month
Joseph Gardemal, Violin
Q: What instrument do you study at Vivaldi Music Academy?
A: I’ve been studying violin with Courtney Park.
Q: What do you enjoy most about Vivaldi Music Academy?
A: I enjoy how encouraging and positive all of the Vivaldi staff has been since I began taking lessons. I didn’t have an opportunity to have music lessons when I was younger, and so everything I’ve been learning has been completely new to me, and it has been very helpful to meet encouraging people.
Q: Who are your favorite musical artists?
A: Lately I have been listening to Tomaso Antonio Vitali. But I am also a fan of movie scores, and James Horner is one of my favorite movie score composers.
Q: Do you have advice for other students who may be interested in music?
A: I would just say that its a very good thing to be interested in, because its something that brings people together. No matter what culture you come from, some kind of music is in your heritage.
Q: What do you have planned for your Carnegie performance?
A: I’m going to play “The Lovers’ Waltz” by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason. I think it would be considered to be American folk music, and Ms. Park is going to help me play it as a duet. I’m also part of the strings ensemble performance.

Summer Music Lessons
School’s out and summer is here – it’s the perfect time to sign up for our AWESOME summer lessons. There are many advantages to taking summer music lessons, and here are just a few:
Fun and Motivating – Summer is the perfect time to break from the school routine and explore their music interests with new repertoire, whether it be a song they heard on the radio or a challenging classical piece.
Greater Focus– Without the worries of homework, sports, and other school-time activities, the students can devote time and attention to their music lessons and practice. Better focus leads to better practice!
Time for Something New – Many of our students show interest in learning an additional instrument during the school year. Summer is the best time to try out a new instrument or two!
Continue Good Habits – When students take a full summer break from their instruments, it only means one thing – time to back track in the Fall! Everyone knows the saying, “If you don’t use it, you lose it.” This is true in all disciplines – including learning how to play an instrument. Instead of back tracking in the Fall, our students use their summer music lessons to continue good practice habits and keep making progress.
