7/29/2020
Are you looking for a fun way to try out new instruments, like Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals, or Saxophone? Want to be in your very own Rock Band with students your age? Ready to take your lessons to the next level of fun, excitement and motivation? Do you really enjoy playing the piano, but would like to take what you have learned and apply it also to a new instrument? Rock Band Camp is starting the first week of August, and is open to kids AND ADULTS ages 6 and up! IT IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO TRY A NEW INSTRUMENT FOR A MONTH IN AUGUST TO SEE IF YOU LIKE IT BEFORE COMMITTING TO FULL-TIME LESSONS! Rock Band Camp is a 40 minute small group class that meets once a week to rehearse and learn nothing but your favorite Rock, Pop, Jazz, R&B, Praise & Worship, Dance songs, and more! The students get to name the band, choose the songs, do performances, and get real world experience—the sky is the limit! The only requirement is that the student also attend their normal piano lesson during the week to continue their general technical, reading and music skills and to learn the new instrument (Rock Band class is only for rehearsing the songs as a group. Individual parts are learned at the regular lesson).
==> TO SIGN UP, JUST TEXT ME! ==>*Sign up ASAP, Rock Band camp STARTS NEXT WEEK! Try Rock Band Camp for only $93! For info or to sign up, text Mr. McAnelly at (210)268-8373 Dear Students and Parents,
We are excited to resume in person lessons effective May 18th! Here's what I know: 1. You will continue to have the option to have your lessons online. It is your choice as to when you resume in person lessons with us, once we reopen for in person lessons. Online lessons will be available indefinitely, and are also a perfect option for students who may go out of town for an extended period in the summer. 2. We are reopening for in person lessons on May 18th. I will be at the school to teach lessons if you choose to come to us OR if you prefer to Zoom in. Either way your lesson will occur at your scheduled day and time. 3. We are following the CDC guidelines to keep students and parents safe and here's what they are: • We ask that every student upon arrival wash their hands and put on a mask. • We have complimentary disposable masks. If you would like one, just ask. These are FREE for our students to use during the lesson, but you have to be a current student to receive one. • We have (and have always had) plenty of hand sanitizer available for use before each class. • We have complimentary disposable gloves if you would like one. These are FREE for our students to use. • We ask that for now you do not wait in the waiting areas, but that you wait in your vehicle while your child's lesson is being held. What's really cool is you can ZOOM into the lesson with your phone if you wish and watch every minute from your vehicle. If you arrive early, please text me to let me know that you are here, and I will walk out in the front and wave to let you know when we are ready. Then, I will meet you at the door to escort your child inside. • Please keep 6 feet of distance from all other people. Since we own our facilities and designed each one specifically for our use, we have measured each room and each one can accommodate six feet of social distance. Class size has been temporarily reduced to a maximum of 4 students to facilitate social distancing. Students will be spaced one at every other keyboard. • We (as we always have), are cleaning the studio multiple times a day, and wiping all keyboards before every class. • Additionally we are deep cleaning the school weekly. We are currently preparing for a big performance in August at a really cool venue (more info soon!) The recital is optional but highly encouraged. Let's get that practice going! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance with your in person lessons, online lessons or anything else. We cannot wait to see you in person at your next lesson! Thank YOU for being a part of Joy Academy of Music! NEW FREE CABIN FEVER BUSTERS PROGRAM!!!

Even your kid’s screens (TV, iPad, XBox) will get boring after a few weeks. Let us help give you and/or your kids some normalcy and consistency in this crazy time. Something POSITIVE to focus on and to PROGRESS with! We are now setting up ONLINE ZOOM LESSONS that you can take from the privacy and security of your own home. ALL YOU NEED IS A CELLPHONE (or ANY extra desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or anything that can access the internet). We have TONS of FUN things planned to keep everybody busy and out of trouble, not just once a week at the lesson, but to work on throughout the week (learning, games, weekly challenges and just plain silly stuff!). Let us help you engage your kids and give them a sense of COMMUNITY to help you through this difficult time. Here are some examples of what online lessons look like: If you are interested in online zoom lessons, COME TO CLASS THIS WEEK AND BRING A CELLPHONE that you can use for the lessons so I can get you all setup and ready to go! IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE LESSON THIS WEEK, JUST CALL OR TEXT ME AND I WILL STEP YOU THROUGH THE SETUP OVER THE PHONE.
See you soon! Mr. McAnelly Music Instructor Coronavirus Update
3/14/2020
Dear Students and Parents,
Just a quick heads up that we ARE resuming classes and make up lessons this week. Understandably many of you are concerned about the Coronavirus, so here is an important update. Because I care about my students’ health as well as their musical skills, WE ARE NOW OFFERING OPTIONAL ONLINE MUSIC CLASSES VIA ZOOM. We will be meeting for class this week at the studio at the usual time for a normal lesson, and also to help everyone get setup on this free, awesome and easy to use platform. As most of my school age students are not in school this week, this is the perfect time in the midst of the chaos to give everyone some normalcy, fun, and something to do so they don’t climb the walls! 😉 The good news is that because many of you are using Piano Marvel, you already have all you need to make this work (and for those of you who aren’t, don’t worry—setup is easy!). The technology is such that online lessons will be exciting, fun AND productive! AT THIS POINT ONLINE LESSONS ARE OPTIONAL, AS NORMAL CLASSES WILL CONTINUE THIS WEEK AT THE USUAL DAY AND TIME. Rest assured, we are taking every precaution the CDC advises to make sure that the studio is a healthy and safe environment. Everybody will be met at the door with hand sanitizer and Clorox Wipes, all keyboards, doorknobs, and commonly used items will be cleaned before and during every class, and plenty of soap and water will be on hand as needed. If you are having any flu symptoms, stay home until you are better (and be sure to take advantage of our ONLINE MUSIC LESSONS and MAKE UPS). I will send another message to everyone about what to bring with you to the lesson this week (ie: iPad, tablet, laptop, phone, etc.) so everyone can get setup for online lessons if needed. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND LESSONS THIS WEEK, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL SEND INFO AND HELP YOU GET ALL SETUP FOR ONLINE LESSONS FROM HOME. As an added incentive, we are starting to choose songs for an upcoming performance in late May or early June (well after all this has passed). This is an adventure and we are all in this together, but we CAN keep our skills up, keep the music flowing and our students happy. We are so grateful that we can do lessons online! If you have any questions, feel free to text me. See you soon! Sincerely, Mr. McAnelly Music Instructor 2019 Christmas Music Videos!!!
