By the end of the four weeks, I was so sad to say goodbye, and I told them I will visit them once the school year starts. \ud83d\ude42 <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" align=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/peoplesmusicschool.worldsecuresystems.com\/images\/blogs\/Megan pic2new.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div align=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana;\">My other duties this summer both at Back of the Yards and Uptown Academy have ranged from organizing instrument inventory to reaching out to parents to assembling a bass drum (that was a fun day) to scanning and organizing files.\u00a0 Each faculty member I have gotten to know has been wonderful and supportive and so good at what they do.\u00a0 I\u2019m here to help however I can, and I\u2019m so glad that I have been able to have these learning experiences in an environment that is consistently so warm, nurturing, and positive.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first encounter with The People\u2019s Music School was two and a half years ago, in the winter of my first year as a music student at Northwestern.\u00a0 For our [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[14,23,24,25],"class_list":["post-477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-inspiring-stories","tag-music-is-a-gift","tag-pass-it-on","tag-volunteers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
