Student Spotlight - Meet SOR Guitarist & Keyboardist Paul M!
What is your favorite thing about School of Rock Vienna?
My favorite thing about the School of Rock is being able to make music with my fellow musicians. I love being able to create musical chemistry and learn new things with them. Being able to be yourself with other musicians is the key to formulating meaningful music.
What is one of your favorite things you’ve learned from your time here so far?
My favorite thing I have learned at School of Rock is how to learn a song properly. I always try to learn a song by playing one section at a time. I also use my perfect pitch to learn songs efficiently. I believe that trying to "feel" a song is the most important thing to consider when learning a song.
What advice would you give to all the new SOR student musicians?
N My advice is to be yourself and be your own inspiration. Be the catalyst for your own success. Learn to discover your own feel for a song. Find your own "Zen" and inner peace when performing on stage.

If you could be in any band or artist (past or present) who would it be and why?
