“The arts are an essential element of education, just like reading, writing, and arithmetic…music, dance, painting, and theater are all keys that unlock profound human understanding and accomplishment.”
The “Super Sale” at Paige’s Music is one of our biggest sales of the year. If you are thinking of “stepping” up to an intermediate or advanced level instrument this is the best time to do it. We would love to help you find the best instrument for your advancing student or answer any questions about this special promotion. Here’s how it works – Come to the store and draw a coupon that will allow you to “SUPER SIZE” your savings. The coupons range from 5%-50% OFF* our already low prices! OR – If you would rather not use the coupon that you selected, you can use our 12 months deferred interest* option. There’s no interest as long as your balance is paid in full within 12 months. There are minimum payments due each month and our retail staff can help estimate what those might be.
In addition to these great savings, this is a great time to take advantage of manufacturer rebates for the rental or purchase of new instruments! More information on these rebate programs can be found here: https://usa.yamaha.com/promotions/step_up_to_yamaha_2018/index.html
In addition to these rebates, Yamaha is offering a double rebate during the November Super Sale! The standard rebates of $50 or $100 will be double to $100 and $200 respectively.
The sale runs from Thursday, November 15th through Saturday, November 17th. Our hours are Monday – Friday: 10-6 and Saturday: 10-4.
*Offers valid 11/15/18 through 11/17/18. One coupon per family. 12 Months Deferred Interest subject to credit approval and applies to all instrument and accessory purchases $399 or more. Not applicable toward existing account balances or repairs. Offers cannot be combined. See store for details.
“Arts education aids students in skills needed in the workplace: flexibility, the ability to solve problems and communicate, the ability to learn new skills, to be creative and innovative, and to strive for excellence.”
During the summer of 2018 we visited the Symphonic Youth Orchestra to interview some of their students. We were curious to find out how music has influenced them throughout their school careers, as well as how it has prepared them for the future. Next up is Lauren Newell from Lawrence North High School. Please take a few minutes to get to know her and all that she’s learned from being in orchestra.
A big thank you to Shawn Goodman and the rest of the staff at the Symphonic Youth Orchestra. To learn more about the SYO please visit their website at https://www.syogi.org.
“The rapidly evolving global economy demands a dynamic and creative workforce. The arts and its related businesses are responsible for billions of dollars in cultural exports for this country. It is imperative that we continue to support the arts and arts education both on the national and local levels. The strength of every democracy is measured by its commitment to the arts.”
Our staff spotlight for October is on Britton Watson. Britton works with our Retail Sales team and has been with us for about 2 and a half years. Please watch his interview below to learn more about him and all that he does for our Retail team!
“Students of all ages – that includes adults – generally find that music helps them focus more clearly on the task at hand and puts them in a better mood for learning.”
Research indicates the brain of a musician, even a young one, works differently than that of a nonmusician. “There’s some good neuroscience research that children involved in music have larger growth of neural activity than people not in music training. When you’re a musician and you’re playing an instrument, you have to be using more of your brain.”
