Behind "Make Your Melody"

Since 1985, I have been teaching adults and teenagers in western Massachusetts how to play violin (fiddle), mandolin and guitar.  I love my students!  Over the years, I have watched (and listened) to them play music in bands and orchestras, and many of them go on to become fine musicians themselves.  That's the joy of being a string teacher!  I wrote this song for my past, current and new students!  I hope it finds you hale and happy!

(Verse 1)

In the Amherst area, where melodies bloom,

A mandolin and fiddle teacher lights up the room.

With violin, guitar, or mandolin in hand,

You'll find your rhythm, you'll make your stand.

From Granby's heart or online's wide reach,

Music's the treasure that lessons can teach.

(Chorus)

Come sign up for lessons, let your spirit sing,

Feel the joy that only music can bring.

For health, for life, for a heart that's strong,

Play a tune, and you'll belong.

Every note you learn will set you free,

Join the song, come make your melody.

(Verse 2)

Students young and old, with dreams in their eyes,

Pick up the strings and watch spirits rise.

Each chord you strum, each bow you draw,

Builds a brighter world, without a flaw.

In every lesson, you'll grow and shine,

Crafting a life where music's divine.

(Chorus)

Come sign up for lessons, let your spirit sing,

Feel the joy that only music can bring.

For health, for life, for a heart that's strong,

Play a tune, and you'll belong.

Every note you learn will set you free,

Join the song, come make your melody.

(Bridge)

Music's a healer, it steadies your soul,

Lifts up your heart, makes your spirit whole.

It sharpens your mind, keeps your body alive,

In every note, you'll learn to thrive.

From the first pluck to the songs you'll play,

Music's a gift that's here to stay.

(Verse 3)

At 117 Amherst Street, or a click away,

The door's wide open for you to play.

Join the orchestra, let your passion blend,

With Mandolin New England, the music won't end.

For long life, for joy, for a world that's bright,

Sign up today, step into the light.

(Chorus)

Come sign up for lessons, let your spirit sing,

Feel the joy that only music can bring.

For health, for life, for a heart that's strong,

Play a tune, and you'll belong.

Every note you learn will set you free,

Join the song, come make your melody.

(Outro)

So take that step, let your heart take flight,

With fiddle or mandolin, you'll find your light.

In Amherst's embrace, your music will soar,

Sign up for lessons, and open that door.
