Mclean Melody provides a learning-pal program where members of our organization help aspiring young musicians learn musical instruments. PAL might stand for “Practice, Achieve, Learn”, it could also suggest the idea of mentorship, where advanced students serve as learning pals for young musicians.
I enrolled this program starting in this summer and I learned from April and Eileen. At the same time, I also tutored younger musician Alice in playing the piano, which help me improve my own skills as well.
I really benefited from the PAL program. April and Elieen helped me practice, answered questions, offered personalized feedback and provided encouragement. More importantly, it made learning music easy and enjoyable, and I always looked forward to my next lesson!
