Hi, my name's Camille and the owner of Leading Note Studios in San Marcos and Encinitas.

I wanted to do another video update and let you know how our schools are doing, I need to start with a huge shoutout to all of my students.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Students, Teachers and Office Staff!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being with us during this difficult time and keeping music in your household, Gene Simmons from KISS has always said that they would never be anything without their fans, and I would never be anything without our students. So thank you for being part of our musical family.

I also wanna do a huge shout out to our teachers, they have worked very hard, they pivoted quickly, they went from in-person to Zoom back to in-person, and now do combos. They have been troopers and with a lot of shifting schedules, I just wanna say thank you to all our teachers for being with us through this difficult time, and for all the new teachers, we've hired over eight new teachers during this season, and we wanna welcome them aboard to be part of our Leading Note Studios family.

And finally, I wanna thank all the people that help at the front office, they have worked tirelessly, making phone calls, changing schedules, doing Zoom, online, offline, communicating with you. I just wanna say thank you for all of them and sticking in at the front desk, in the front office and being there for you, six, sometimes seven days a week. So we really appreciate all of them, and without this amazing team of students, teachers and staff, I would be nowhere... And I really wanna say thank you for that.

I know that this has been a difficult year, as we all know, but we're getting through it, and we're doing just fine, and we're doing lessons in person and in Studio, just like we always have.

Studio Enrollments

So let's take a minute to talk about enrollments.  Our enrollments are going up, and I really want to thank you all for telling your friends and family about Leading Note Studios, I want to remind you about the referral program, because every time someone comes in saying that you referred them a reminder that I do send out a really nice $20 Amazon gift card, and you can share it with the student, but you can also keep it yourself, but it's a way of saying thank you, and so you will receive a personal hand-written note from me with an Amazon gift card just for referring your friends and family to us as we continue to grow our family, and at San Marcos and at Encinitas.  I thank you so much for telling all your friends and family about our referral program.

Safety Protocol

So let's talk about the safety protocol we have in place.  We’re cleaning every door handle, light switch, keyboard all day long.  We’re taking temperatures as you walk in the door, we are requiring masks as you come in and out of the building, and we're keeping our distancing with using our rooms that are big enough and pointer sticks, we've got divider curtains between the trumpet and voice lessons and wherever else you need it.  Let us know what it takes to make you feel safe to bring your child back into the studio. We will make it happen.

Concert in the Park and Recital Videos

Let's also talk about our amazing Concert in the Park.  What a great afternoon with everybody spreading they're blankets out, enjoying picnic dinners and watching amazing pianist, violinist, guitarist, and singers all afternoon.  Such a great afternoon. We are definitely going to do that again, weather permitting in San Diego, which is gonna be sooner than later. 

I also wanna say thank you to all the videos that have been submitted for our Video Recital!  We have been putting them in order, we are judging them, and prizes and awards are soon to follow, we will keep you posted and let you know when the premiere showing of our Video Recitals is happening.

Musical Ladder

I also wanted let you know our Musical Ladder system is still up and running!  This is a FREE activity that we do for all the students here at Leading Note Studios. So as you're getting rewards every three to six months, we are mailing the certificates and the wristbands to you, we do have a pile of trophy’s and more are still coming in, so we text you and email you and that you know your trophy is ready for pick up.  So come on by stay part of the Musical Ladder system, it's all free just for you, AND we are also keeping the Student of the Month going. 

Student of the Month

Our Students of the Month are rewarded with a free recording in the recording studio!  So how do you get nominated? That's the question, tell your teacher that you really want to be nominated for Students of the Month, but you have a have a perfect song completed and ready to go. When you perfected that song, singing, playing, performing it, let your teacher know.  Is this a good song to nominate me for Student of the Month? The teacher that puts your name in the basket and we pull out the name at the end of the month, so... get that song, learned, ask your teacher to nominate you, and you could be the next Student of the Month winner in recording in the studio.

Online Reviews

In closing, I want to say thank you so much for all your Google, Yelp and Facebook reviews. It means so much to us as our five stars are growing, and I really appreciate all that you do to share Leading Note Studios with the community.

Thank you! 

So once again, thank you so much for being a part of Leading Note Studios’ family, either in person or online. Your choice, and I look forward to seeing you at Encinitas or San Marcos or at our next Concert in the Park.

Thanks so much.  Bye!
