Summary = Fast-growing 4/4 School of Music adds new locations in
Everett and Lynnwood/Edmonds.Free introductory lessons offered to
new students at all locations including Bothell.
Press Release
Body = Two new locations will offer time-saving
options to local families and provide top-quality instruction. The
first new addition is located at 10705 19th Ave S.E.
in Everett (Silver Lake), a block and a half south of Costco. The
other location is conveniently located just west of Hwy
99 and 196th Street, near the border of Edmonds & Lynnwood.
These locations add to the already popular Bothell and
Alderwood (Lynnwood) music school locations. According to School
Director Tyler Tullock, “The existing locations couldn’t
keep up with demand for our music programs. Also, we wanted to reduce
drive time for a number of our students who
come from as far away as Marysville, Lake Stevens, and Edmonds.”
Free introductory
lessons 4/4 School of Music offers a free introductory lesson to
each student. This allows students to get to know the teacher and
the program before starting weekly
music lessons. Tullock says, “We want each student to feel
really comfortable with their teacher. Music lessons should
be fun as well as educational. The free lesson, combined with a
family discount, can really add up for families with more
than one member enrolled!”
Additional teaching
staff Recent additions to the 4/4 staff have included a teacher
who was classically trained in Russia, one who sings with the Seattle
Symphony Chorale, and another
who trained a major recording artist with Universal Records. With
over 20 instructors on the staff there seems to be a teacher for
everyone. School Director Tullock pointed out that the school goes
to great lengths to ensure each student is matched with the teacher
that best complements their musical needs. The teacher’s personality
plays a big role in how well a
student does in lessons. If you have a child with a lot of energy
taking lessons from a teacher that is equally as energetic,
the two will connect and the student will excel. With adults, some
prefer a laid-back approach while others want a
teacher who will really push them to their musical limits. “Our
teachers range from casual to really energetic, but all are extremely
motivational and highly skilled. We’ve received 260 applications
to teach at 4/4 since the beginning of the year. All
teachers go though our special interview & audition process.
Only the best are selected to teach at 4/4!”
Why is summer
the perfect time to take lessons? Students have so much time on
their hands to practice and play music. The
normal distractions of the school year like homework, sports and
holidays are absent. The only distraction during the summer break
is usually a family vacation for a week or two and usually students
enjoy taking their guitar, handdrum or portable keyboard to play
around the campfire. Getting a head start on the public school music
programs is another reason students
take summer lessons. 4/4 lessons give students an edge when they
return to school in the fall. A third-chair student can become a
first-chair player over the summer with the help of a good private
music teacher and some extra practice.
Garage band
classes full What’s a garage band class? “It’s
three to five musicians being instructed on how to play their instruments
together as a group. They play their favorite songs,
taking turns on lead vocals and lead guitar. We teach them how to
have fun! We have different classes for kids, teenagers,
and adults. Invariably students think that they aren’t good
enough or qualified to join a band yet. But sitting in
on a garage band class, every member joins in and has a blast. Right
now all garage band classes are full but because
these classes have become so popular we will be offering more in
the fall.” Please check their website www.44school.com

staff and two new locations, 4/4 School of Music will be accepting
new registrations now and throughout the summer. For more information
