ETI Community Updates

Ellis’ New Band!

“And we’ll never be Royals…roooyaaals!”

One of our long time students Ellis Suridge has recently joined a band as their drummer. The band called “Spinal Rose” play rock and will be seen at pubs and clubs across SA. Ellis is a wonderful drummer and has worked hard having lessons with Pete since he was 12 years only. We are super proud of Ellis for taking the next step in his learning journey – putting the learning into practice. We know he will continue to grow and grow and become one of Adelaide’s go to drummers!

Welcome to our ETI Mascot

Welcome to the ETI Family -­‐ “Sammie D” or Sam the Dog as he’s also know. Sammie D regularly helps out in the ETI office by providing shredding assistance and foot warming.

ETI were very fortunate to be chosen to help welcome the Royal Couple to Playford Council recently. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, otherwise known as “Will and Kate” came to the North Sound System as p art of their tour of Australia.

Unfortunately the little cutie future King George wasn’t with them, but it was a thrill to have them visit the Northern Suburbs.

We were asked to select 3 students to perform for the Royals. Given the amount of amazing students that we had to choose from our job was difficult. We shortlisted and shortlisted and finally decided that Corey Clarke, Laurissa Boyle and Jessica Johnson were the ones to represent ETI.

Corey is currently studying music at Adelaide University and has made it his life pursuit after a number of years as a student at ETI. Laurissa is a passionate young lady and has made it clear

that her life will be filled with music. Jessica gives her all in all of her lessons and is demonstrating a significant commitment to her craft. All of these students are regulars at the ETI extracurricular events and dedicate their hearts and souls to their craft. They will be heard on the radio and in concert one day.

The three of them have amazing support from their families and even though some are d oing it tough they still manage to find the time, energy and money to invest in their children’s dreams.

I think one of the things that creates the ETI difference is in the parents that ETI students have. I’m always touched and thrilled at the support they give their kids, all of our students.

We are thrilled that we were able to be part of the Royal Visit and provide this unique and once in a life time opportunity to Corey, Laurissa and Jessica.

ETI @ the Fringe

Making Life Easy for You!

A little while ago now, but if you missed it there are all the photos online from the show. What an amazing and unique experience from Joe Toranto, an amazing young drummer from Melbourne, Pete Drummond, an inspiration and “Dragon’s” long time drummer and Darryn Farrugia who is one of Australia’s go to drummers for artists touring such as BB King, Tom Jones, Tina Arena and Human Nature, just to name a few. Who else would put three amazing and internationally known drummers on one stage? Just ETI, that’s who. Make sure you keep an eye on Facebook for up coming events.

Silver Card Members Family Fun Day

March 29 was when the musician’s hit the court and had a blast. It was ETI’s inaugural Family Fun Day and what a fabulous day we had. It was unfortunate that a few of our Silvers couldn't be there. We missed you and we'll see you next time. A nd a huge thanks to our friends at Novatech Creative Event Technology for lending us their corporate suite and to awesome and amazing Mark Davis (Mr 36ers!!) for coming down and being so generous with his time and providing his special branding of inspiration to our ETI community. Fun was had by all and even a quick game on the 36ers home court! That's the ETI difference.

Our next Silver Member’s Family Day is scheduled for 15 June 2014. Put it in the diary and if you haven’t upgraded to Silver yet contact ETI management or get online. You don’t want to m iss out on the fun!

We have many payment options to make your life easy.

1. Pay upfront at the beginning of the term (eg: $330 per student).

2. Pay by direct debit weekly term by term (eg: $35 pw).

3. 12 month direct debit payment plan (eg: $2527 per week) Our new 12 month payment plan allows you to balance your finances easier with a smaller weekly payment.

Payments continue through the school holidays when lessons cease. Let us take the hassle out of payments and set up an annual payment plan today.

An Inspiring Story from ‘The HIVE’

Summer 2014

Meet Educator Dallas Davenport !

Dallas is a singer and performer with extraordinary talent! She is regularly seen about town in various bands and also performs regularly in cabaret and theatre performances. Her latest

offering at the Fringe had her

ETI creates inspiration every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the HIVE at Modbury. Singing, guitar, bass, piano and drum lessons are currently offered.

embodying the energy and spirit of some of the worlds

Sometimes through no fault of their own students are unable to make their scheduled lesson. Our newest inspiration provider Dallas and our CEO Pete both had students ring them unable to m ake their lesson’s last Tuesday evening. They could have left and went home, but not these two. They have inspiration bubbling over so they both went out into the common area to talk with some of the other HIVE participants and they met 13 year old Sophie who is a poet.

experience her skill and positive energy! Dallas is also a gym

Dallas and Pete spoke to her and told her that they create musicians at the Hive that’s why they were there. Sophie responded that she would love to turn her poetry into music but didn’t know how. Pete told her they could help and got her to read her poem. Dallas asked her what kind of musician she wanted to become and got onto the piano and created a melody for the poem. After an hour Sophie and Dallas had worked out the melody and rhythm of the song. Sophie has a lovely voice also and sang her newly created poem/song accompanied by Dallas.

The song is amazing. A ballad about ‘being young and having a voice that needs to be heard’. Sophie didn’t know that afternoon that she would walk out of the HIVE as a songwriter, but she did. There is a Buddhist saying that says “When the student is ready, the right teacher will appear.” Was it destiny or a happy coincidence that Dallas and Pete had a spare hour to help Sophie on the road to her dream?

greatest songbirds! Dallas has joined ETI this year and we are thrilled that she has. Her students are fortunate to
