News and Updates
Silversound students and families!
October is here, and we’ve got plenty happening at Silversound as we head into the final months of the year!
Our Winter Recital is coming up December 6th! Now’s the perfect time to start preparing with your instructor. Whether it’s your first performance or you’re a recital regular, we can’t wait to see you on stage!
We’ve also got two exciting Spotlight workshops this month! Join Grant on October 15th at 5 PM for Take the Stage, focusing on performance confidence and stage presence. Then, Nathan joins us October 24th at 11 AM for From Zero to Studio, exploring recording techniques and the basics of studio production.
Don’t forget about our other free workshops! They’re included with your tuition and are a great way to explore something new and connect with fellow musicians.
Music is always better when shared! Have a friend or family member interested in music? Invite them to an upcoming event, or ask the front desk about bringing a guest to your lesson or workshop. We’d love to welcome them to Silversound!
As always, thank you for your continued support and for being part of the Silversound community. We’re looking forward to another great month of music with all of you!

Silversound Fall Schedule
Audio Production — Tuesdays @ 7pm with Kyle
The production class will be going over basics of recording including equipment types, setting up equipment, recording software, recording plugins, and the various recording techniques we use in different situations. This is driven mainly by the students who are there and what they are looking at learning.
Basics of Songwriting — Fridays @ 7pm with Jesse
Jesse is a veteran songwriter, and will be guiding you through an intensive weekly course on the basics of composing your own songs one component at a time. Bring a song you’ve been working on or start writing at the first session. Each subsequent week will build on the last, so don’t miss out!
Guitar & Bass — Wednesdays @ 5pm with Nathan
On Wednesdays at 5:00pm, resident shredder Nathan will be hosting open guitar and bass seminars! This is the perfect place to come brush up on technique as well as ensemble and theory skills. You are welcome to attend whether you’re a beginner, a pro, or anywhere in between. Nathan will guide you through group warm ups, discussion time, specialized exercises, and answer your burning questions during an open Q&A.
Open Jam — Saturdays @ 3pm with Nathan
Nathan will be leading an open jam class once a week, indefinitely! Drop in and out as often as you’d like. No specific commitments required. You can choose if you want to take turns with others and plug in or just play along. Build your confidence and maybe join one of our smaller classes.
Silversound Spotlights
Take the Stage: Performance Workshop with Grant — 10/15 @ 5pm
Playing the right notes is only part of delivering a great performance. This Spotlight will help you build the confidence, energy, and awareness needed to connect with an audience and make your performance memorable. Grant will cover movement, audience interaction, body language, recovering from mistakes, and performing with your bandmates. Whether you’re preparing for the Winter Recital or simply want to feel more comfortable in front of a crowd, this workshop will help you step up and perform with confidence!
From Zero to Studio: Recording Techniques with Nathan — 10/24 @ 11am
Ready to turn your ideas into polished recordings? Nathan will take you through the studio-recording process from the ground up, covering equipment setup, microphone placement, signal levels, tracking, and techniques for capturing a clean, professional sound. No previous recording experience is needed — just bring your curiosity and get ready to take your music from zero to studio!
Start Playing the Blues: Blues Guitar with Parker — Date TBD
You don’t need years of experience to start playing the blues! In this beginner-friendly Spotlight, Parker will break down the essential chords, rhythms, scales, and techniques that give blues guitar its unmistakable sound. Newer players will receive an easy introduction to the style, while experienced guitarists can sharpen their phrasing, improvisation, and feel. All skill levels are welcome — just bring your guitar and get ready to play!
Dial It In: Bass & Guitar Setup with Jesse — Date TBD
Want your guitar or bass to feel better, sound cleaner, and play more smoothly? Jesse will break down how your instrument’s key components work together and explain terms like action, string tension, intonation, and fret buzz. You’ll also learn the fundamentals of restringing and performing a basic setup.
Regular maintenance helps prevent avoidable wear, improves tuning and playability, and keeps small issues from turning into costly repairs. Knowing when your instrument needs attention — and how to handle the basics yourself — can help it perform reliably and last for years. Bring your instrument and get ready to learn what it takes to keep it playing at its best!
Take the Stage: Silversound Winter Recital — December 6
