The Snow is Coming… As we head into the cold months we get questions regarding our closure policy for winter concerning snow closures. In the event of a snow closure, The Colorado School of Music will post an announcement on our website: www.coloradoschoolofmusic.com the morning of the day in question to announce the closure. In the event of a snow closure, your account will be credited for the next month. Due to our large schedules we don’t make personal calls regarding snow days, so please check the website when in doubt.
Odd Instrument? – They’re not really odd, just interesting! The Colorado School of Music has talented instructors who specialize in many instruments. Do you play the oboe or the glockenspiel? Is it difficult finding a conga teacher? If you play an unconventional instrument and are looking for direction, send us an email at info@coloradoschoolofmusic.com and let us know what you’re looking for – chances are, we have an instructor that can help you!
Our Featured Instructor: Zach West, percussion.
The Colorado School of Music is happy to be able to provide a full drum kit for drum lessons and to have our percussion instructor, Zach West as our teacher. In this month’s newsletter, we wanted to let you get to know Zach better.
Zach has been playing music for over twenty years and works as a professional musician in the Denver area. With decades of teaching experience, Zach’s instruction focuses on jazz, rock, blues and Latin music styles. Zach’s students learn to create musical phrases using the two main elements of any style; beats and fills. Zach teaches drum set, mallet percussion, rudimental exercises, and hand drumming. Zach earned a Bachelor of Arts in Jazz Studies from Metropolitan State College of Denver, and has been with the Colorado School of Music since 2009.
