March 2025 Newsletter
Read the latest update from Directors Jose Quesada and Won Yong Lee:
As we kick off a new month, we're excited to share some great updates and achievements that set the stage for a month filled with music, learning, and growth.
🎶 Giving Back: Silent Auctions & Community Love!
This month, we were honored to support two incredible silent auctions—one with the Benbrook Lions Club and another with A Memory Grows.
The Benbrook Lions Club is a local service organization dedicated to giving back through vision care programs, scholarships, and community initiatives. A Memory Grows is a nonprofit that provides healing retreats and support for families who have experienced the loss of a child, offering a space for connection and remembrance.
To help these causes, we donated seven free music lessons per auction—one for each of our core instruments: piano, voice, drums, guitar, ukulele, bass, and violin. That’s 14 opportunities for new students to experience the joy of music while supporting meaningful community programs!
We love giving back and can’t wait to do more!
Does your school or organization have a silent auction coming up? We’d love to support!

🏆 March Music Madness: Who’s Climbing the Musical Ladder? 🏆
March is here, and it's the perfect time to talk about the importance of consistency in your musical journey. While March may bring March Madness to the basketball courts, we’re celebrating Musical Ladder Madness here at Benbrook Music Academy! 🎶🏅
You may have heard about our Musical Ladder® System, but have you ever wondered why it’s such an important part of your music education? Unlike many extracurricular activities, music skills are developed through consistent, long-term practice. In fact, achieving real progress in music takes years of focused learning. For example, I personally spent 20 years perfecting my musical skills through lessons and practice. It wasn’t just a few months of work—it was years of dedication, step by step, lesson by lesson.
Why Consistency Matters:
🎵 Building Skills Over Time – Every lesson you take and every day you practice brings you closer to mastery. Music skills aren’t achieved in a few weeks or months—they require years of consistent effort.
🎵 The Impact of Interrupted Lessons – Unlike sports or other hobbies, music is one of the few activities where discontinuing lessons can lead to regression. Stopping lessons or practice means your progress will slow down, and it can actually cause you to lose skills that you’ve worked hard to gain.
🎵 The Musical Ladder® Encourages Long-Term Growth – The Musical Ladder® System isn’t just about earning rewards—it’s designed to recognize and celebrate the consistency of students who stick with their lessons and practice. Whether it’s a wristband, certificate, or trophy, these rewards are a reflection of your ongoing commitment to your musical education.
The Bottom Line:
Music is a lifelong journey, and the more consistent you are, the faster and further you’ll climb! The Musical Ladder celebrates your dedication to growing as a musician. So remember: each lesson, each practice session, brings you closer to your next milestone. Keep at it, and before you know it, you’ll be earning rewards while mastering your craft! 🎶🏆
As March wraps up, we’re celebrating all of our students who’ve climbed higher on the Musical Ladder this month. Whether you’re aiming for your first wristband or aiming for a big trophy, every step forward counts.
Stay dedicated, keep practicing, and let’s climb to the top together!
🎉 125 Students & Growing – Thank You! 🎉
We have some exciting news to celebrate here at Benbrook Music Academy—we’ve officially reached 125 students! 🎶🎉
This milestone is a huge accomplishment, and we couldn’t have done it without you, our amazing students and families. We are so grateful for your trust, commitment, and passion for music. You’ve made this journey incredibly special, and we’re thrilled to be a part of your musical growth.
What This Means for Us:
When we first opened our doors, we dreamed of creating a place where everyone—whether a beginner or seasoned musician—could come together to learn, grow, and thrive. Reaching 125 students is a testament to the wonderful community we’ve built, and we couldn’t be prouder of all the progress our students have made!
What’s Next:
With this milestone, we’re more committed than ever to providing the best possible experience for our students. We will continue to expand, offering even more opportunities for students to grow in their musical journey, whether that’s through new classes, events, or exciting performance opportunities.
As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: to enrich lives through music and provide a caring, supportive environment where every student can succeed.
A Big Thank You:
To all our students, parents, and staff—thank you for being a part of this journey. Your dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm inspire us every single day. We can’t wait to see what the future holds and to watch all our students continue to grow, learn, and reach new heights in their musical skills.

Musical Ladder System
Achievements
The Benbrook Music Academy is the only music school in Benbrook that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests with the Musical Ladder System®. It has been awarded multiple patents and is being used by schools nationwide.
Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them full color, really cool "Musical Ladder System®" wristbands that they can show off to their friends.
Congratulations to the students who passed a Musical Ladder Test in the month of March.
Student Clark earned his Musician level for 9 months of drum lessons!
Student Sofia earned her Song Bird level for 6 months of voice lessons!
Student Elijah earned his Song Bird level for 6 months of piano lessons!
