A Message from Joe
HAPPY NEW YEAR and welcome to 2020! Big Beat Music has a great year planned! We have booked several performance venues this year for our students to be able to participate in. More details to come! Our One-of-a-Kind Annual Showcase date has been set for May 17, 2020 at the Jersey Shore Arts Center. Stay tuned for more information. Participating in the showcase has so many benefits. First-time performers have the perfect opportunity to gain confidence, a sense of achievement and experience the exhilarating feelings that performing on stage brings. We all have a lot of FUN! Start working with your teachers now! We are looking forward to seeing everyone shine on stage! More details will be provided in the coming weeks.
Until the next time, remember to ‘Keep On Jammin’! – Joe Nevolo

Our Rock Star Achievement Program Continues to Inspire!
Rock Star Achievement Program
This proven system that helps students get excited about music and helps keep parents ‘informed’ as to how they are progressing. Similar to karate belt tests, every few months or so teachers will evaluate their students. As they progress they will receive one of these really cool wristbands for their level. They will also get trophies and other awards at certain levels as part of the “Merit System” we have already had in place. This type of program has been proven to inspire students, bring a smile to parents’ faces and we all feel proud of the progress being made!
