Jammin' Newsletter - DECEMBER 2019 Issue
A Message from Joe
Wow! What an incredible year it has been at Big Beat Music! We had one of our absolute best Annual Showcases so far. Such great talent…next year should be amazing! Our Rock Band and Percussion Ensemble got to perform at local venues in front of great audiences; they have asked us to return! Stay tuned for more info. We also had a fabulous outdoor concert by the beach; all our student performers shined. We are doing it again next year! The end of a decade is approaching…it got me thinking. I’ve been the director of Big Beat Music since 1983 and each year just keeps getting better. Our school is growing every month! All of us here at Big Beat want to take this moment to wish our Big Beat Families a very Healthy and Happy Holiday Season. We are grateful that you have allowed us to be a part of your musical journey! HAPPY NEW YEAR! ☃❄
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!
