Motivique Studio

It's always a fun day when a student wants to learn Soundgarden.

Teddy Doran, a student who started with me at 6 yrs and is now 13, moved a couple years ago to Austin. He's performing right now on the School of Rock livestream on Youtube with their Led Zeppelin tribute, if you want to listen in:

School of Rock Austin Presents: Fall 2020 Season Shows - Second Sunday School of Rock Austin presents: Petty vs Springsteen Pt 2, Green Day Tribute, Led Zeppelin Tribute Pt 2 at Empire Garage in Austin, TX on 1/24/21 ...

I'm really proud of my student Cordell Layton today, just released a single on all platforms in his group Fox Chase. He's playing all the instruments and singing the multiple harmony lines you hear. I've been working with him for about 7 years now. Their song "I Want Change" couldn't be more appropriately named.

Ya'll give them a listen, a follow, buy the MP3 on Bandcamp and so forth.
