Student Spotlight - Sam Gordon
Meet Sam!
Sam is an inredible talent that has been with SOR for quite some time now. He is involved in our Lessons Program, Performance Program, and House Band.
What’s your favorite thing to do at SOR?
"My favorite thing to do at SOR is being at a show and finally playing the songs that we've spent all season rehearsing in front of an audience."
What do you like best about SOR?
"SOR gives me an opportunity to play music with other people and get lessons from really talented and nice teachers who, you can tell, really care about helping their students become the best musicians that they can."
What advice would you give to a new student?
If you're ever nervous about performing in front of an audience or even just in front of other students, just remember not to take it too seriously. Learning to be able to roll with the punches and quickly recover from mistakes while playing is an important skill to have. When you do mess up, which we all do at some point or another, just keep moving with the song and as long as you can get through it, that's all that matters.
