MAESTRO MONDAY We would like to welcome our newest violin/viola instructor to Noteworthy Music Bethanie Dietrich had a very normal start to her viola career. She began playing in third grade and took group lessons that first summer. Slowly, the other students in the group dropped out until she was left taking private lessons.... Bethanie didn’t know right away that she wanted to play the viola the rest of her life. She enjoyed playing, and while school was sometimes challenging due to her dyslexia, music gave her something she could do well. Maybe it was her competitive nature, but she stuck with it even when orchestra was boring in high school (she even tried playing with her music upside down when she was sitting first chair and was surprised the teacher never noticed). She made All-State orchestra each year of high school and received a four-year scholarship to BYU-Idaho. After graduating with her music degree, she joined the Idaho Falls symphony and is currently playing with the Edgewood Symphony Orchestra. Bethanie believes that music is a great outlet physically, mentally and emotionally. Music helps to create stronger and more confident individuals. It can be fun and challenging. Rather than starting off with hours of practice, she encourages shorter, smarter practice sessions. As one advances in skill, the practicing time will lengthen without feeling long. Bethanie loves teaching music and hopes to help her students find that same love while helping them develop a sense of accomplishment and find their unique personalities.

MAESTRO MONDAY Please join us in welcoming our newest instructor! Tanner Davis is a multi-instrumentalist from Charleston, West Virginia. He started on piano at the age of 6, and throughout his educational career gained experience with guitar, saxophone, clarinet, and flute. He holds degrees from West Virginia University in Music Performance (emphasis in jazz saxophone) and Jazz Pedagogy.... Tanner has travelled the tri-state area bringing live music to elementary, middle, and high school students in often remote places. Since 2013, he has been active in cover bands, jazz ensembles, Latin groups, funk bands, rock bands and more in the Pittsburgh and Morgantown areas. Gravitating towards the jazz tradition, he hopes to help educate and give back to a community that has fostered so many of the great musicians he loves. Some of his influences are saxophonists such as Stan Getz, George Garzone, and Hank Mobley.

MAESTRO MONDAY We are excited to feature one of our owners for our Maestro Monday this week, Jim Dietrich. Jim grew up with Noteworthy Music. He spent many afternoons as a child playing with his brother and sisters in the original store in Bakerstown, and saw the hard work and care of his parents, Bob and Janet, as they grew Noteworthy Music.... After college, where he majored in business administration, Jim spent a few years in the corporate world. In 2013 he came back home to help with the family business, and he took over daily operations full time the next year. Jim is proud of the legacy left by his parents. He loves seeing the excitement of new musicians and their families as they come in to pick up instruments, and their growth as they come back for lessons or to get younger siblings started.
