We are excited to start another semester of music lessons and a brand new year at Monument Square Community Music School. We are expanding our faculty and are always seeking out incredibly talented musicians to teach. Last semester we welcomed Whitney Marshall and JL Claybourne to the roster; two outstanding musicians, performers, and teachers who are bringing a whole lot of knowledge and talent to our school. Across the board, we have a great line-up of fantastic musicians and teachers to take students to the next level. Having a great faculty has always been a huge priority at MSCMS so we put a lot of effort into bringing you the very best. Check out our all of our teacher’s biographies and see if there is someone you are interested in studying with! http://monumentsquaremusic.com/about/instructors/ We are looking forward to 2019 and all of the great music and growth from our students and teachers. Happy New Year!

2018 music lessons with new teachers and students!
We are so excited to welcome new teachers on our faculty here at Monument Square Community Music school for 2018 music lessons! Pianist Theo Demosthenes, multi-instrumentalist and guitarist Owen Ross, vocalist Melissa Gates, and vocalist Caitlin Sausville are the new instructors. We will definitely be showcasing each teacher individually, but for this overview we will just say that each of these musicians is unique and talented, and with these new teachers we have added a ton of energy and new ideas to our school. We are also thrilled with all of the new students and the progress of our students who have been with us a while. It is great to see Monument Square Music school grow and thrive in the new location, our store front right in the heart of downtown Leominster!

Monthly Jazz Jam at Monument Square Music!
Deck the halls with Boughs of Holly fa-la- la-la- la, la-la- la-la! Now I’m guessing you couldn’t help but sing along with that could you? Well… get ready to sing some more, because the holiday season is approaching fast! You’ll be hearing the students of Monument Square Community Music School hard at work learning their favorite holiday songs. Along with tons of music, we have a lot of new and exciting projects and events in the works, including a monthly Jazz Jam that will happen at 6:00 PM on the first Sunday of every month at Monument Square Community Music School with an entry fee of $5. We have created this event to give intermediate and advanced students a chance to meet and play with other musicians and to also create a space where students and musicians can show what they have been working on. All are welcome to come join the fun even if it is just to listen. Each Jazz Jam will feature a band made up of teachers and other performing musicians. It’s always a ball here at Monument Square and we look forward to seeing and hearing our students continue to grow everyday.
Until next post,

2017 Music lessons in Downtown Leominster at our new location!
Monument Square Community Music school is happy to announce that we will be relocating our music lesson program to downtown Leominster, where we have been giving lessons since November 2017! We love having a store front and being located right in the heart of things in Leominster’s up and coming downtown. We truly hope to enhance Leominster’s art and music scene and we are excited to bring our amazing teachers to the new location. Our school has been growing steadily since we opened our doors in 2012 and it was time to get a new hip spot and take the school to the next level! As always, our music school has a rolling admission, so feel free to register at any time in the semester. It is easy to fill out the registration form here; http://monumentsquaremusic.com/register/private-lessons-registration/ We have expanded our faculty roster and are ready to take on new piano, voice, guitar, drums, bass, sax, flute, and strings students for the new year.
The move took a great of amount of construction and redesigning and we are so pleased with how everything came out. In November, we opened the new space to the public at an open house that included performances from many of the teachers and students. It was a blast! We are grateful to the many family and friends who showed up as well as the press and writers and photographers from the local newspaper; helping us spread the word about our new location! The open house gave us a taste of things to come, and showed us the possibilities of having concerts and performances from teachers, students and other musicians in our space. We think we have something special happening and we are excited to see what the future brings at 20 Main St.!
Here is an article from one of the local newspapers that attended; http://www.leominsterchamp.com/articles/monument-square-music-school-moves-to-new-location/

We are grateful to the parents and students, some of who have been with us since we opened our doors four years ago and we are really looking forward to starting off 2016! We are also blessed to have such a great roster of teachers on our faculty. You can check out our teachers’ biographies on this page; http://monumentsquaremusic.com/about/instructors/ We also added three new teachers last year in James Dower, Lizzy Marquis, and Michael Rice. They are all exceptional musicians who also happen to be great teachers! We consider our teachers to be the centerpiece of our school so we have concentrated on getting the best of the best. We feel like our high standard of teachers has definitely had an enormous impact on our music students and we can’t wait to continue serving this community with music lessons!
It’s time for Kiddie Music!
Calling all music lovers! Looking for parents that want to introduce their children at a young age to the art of music, and the fun and joy that comes along with it! Monument Square Music’s new program, Kiddie Music Time, is going to be a wonderful bonding time for children and their parents as they will sing along with classic and brand new children’s songs. The kids will play with instruments, dance, and play various musical games. As a songwriter, I am very excited to venture out and start writing fun and lively kids songs for the children to learn and enjoy. I also plan to implement some Latin rhythms and lyrics into some of the songs and activities to widen the cultural learning experience. I look forward to starting our program in October 2012. I hope to see you there!
