Music Authority Family Newsletter for December 31, 2024

Music Authority Family Newsletter - December 31, 2024 UPDATE It's been quite the year at Music Authority. From serious illness to lifechanging moves, we've seen staff members take extended leaves of absence this year or resign to start new life journeys. As the year wraps up, we get a little nostalgic, wishing all our staff members - both current and former - great things and happy times ahead. We said goodbye to Mr. Mitchell who started a new life adventure in Savannah and to Mr. Antonio who moved to Connecticut. Other instructors, too, made life changing moves to new jobs, relationships, and to be with family. They all left their mark on Music Authority and will part of our story always.  We also like to look back and celebrate. So many lives have been positively impacted by music this year. From Mr. Cody's celebrity status at Rock Camp to a Showcase Band trip to Auburn, we've had a truly blessed year watching our musicians young and old stretch their wings and start to fly. Retail has been a struggle this year (it always is during election years), but you helped us pull through and remembered us at the holidays. We hope all of you are enjoying your guitars, banjos, effects pedals, and amplifiers. We're grateful to have the support of our customers. You keep the doors open and the teachers in studios. We can't do this without you and we appreciate it every time you choose to spend your dollars with us instead of a more flashy guitar store or online. What we want to say most is this: thank you for being part of the Music Authority Family. Coming to lessons, telling your friends, helping us to continue to grow and be better, all of these things are so important. What we do is act with passion. All of us - the staff, the instructors, the owners - we are here because we love our jobs and we love building musical relationships with you. Thank you for helping us through 2024. It was a tough year. Now, let's all raise a glass and walk into 2025 with our heads and hopes high. Happy New Year! Melissa A.

The Music Authority Roadies The Roadies are a group of parents and adult students at Music Authority.  They meet the second Tuesday of every month at 6pm in The Backroom at Music Authority.  You can think of the Roadies as  Music Authority's PTO.  They sponsor special events, service projects, and work hard to make sure our teachers feel appreciated.  We welcome any Music Authority parent to come to our next meeting! Our next Roadies meeting will be on January 14 at 6pm in The Backroom.  We'd love for you to join us!
