Jammin’ Blog by Rob Crowther April 2023

It's official! The 2023 Big Beat Annual Showcase is scheduled for Sunday August 27th, 2023 at Neptune City Memorial Park in Neptune City, NJ. The iconic waterfront location will once again serve as the outdoor venue for our biggest event of the year!!

Our Showcase is not your everyday recital. We have created a professional, fun environment with a full stage, top of the line sound, lights, musical equipment, and more!! We fill the venue with family and friends, and give our students the opportunity to share what they have been working on during their lessons with their instructor.

Performance builds confidence and every student is given the opportunity to participate whether it be a solo performance, a performance with their instructor, or even in a group setting. (Percussion Ensemble or Rock Band)

We always encourage our newer students to get on stage and perform for an audience for the first time alongside their instructor.

Additionally the showcase features photo shoots on our Big Beat Red Carpet, prizes, and more!! More info on the showcase in the coming months, so stay tuned!!

We'd also like this time to mention a scholarship opportunity for potential students courtesty of The Brandon Tyler Narleski Foundation. Each Year the foundation provides an opportunity for drum lessons for one year in memory of former Big Beat Student Brandon Tyler Narleski. Brandon was an amazing young man and innovative musical artist who was under the tutelage of our own Joe Nevolo. For more on this opportunity: https://brandontylernarleski.org/

It's going to be a bigtime Spring and Summer at Big Beat School of Music!! Stay tuned for more announcements and as always....Keep on Jammin!!
