Student of the Month of May: Max Zytcer

We’re excited to recognize Max as this month’s Student of the Month!

Max is 15 years old and in 9th grade, and he began his musical journey about a year ago with one clear goal in mind; he wanted to learn how to play the bass, but didn’t know where to start. So he took the first step and signed up for lessons.

Since starting lessons, bass has become his favorite instrument. He loves the depth and feel of it, and while bass is his main focus, he’d also love to learn how to play the harmonica.

When asked what he enjoys most about playing, Max gave a simple but thoughtful answer: “I just like listening to the sound.” That appreciation for tone and feel is at the heart of being a great bassist. Some of his favorite musical moments come from simply messing around and experimenting , discovering new sounds and seeing where they lead. His music teacher Craig says “Glad to hear Max is getting recognition, he’s a great student and bassist.”

Outside of music, Max enjoys History in school, loves a good burger and fries, and loves visiting Sedona, Arizona. He’s also a fan of the video game Satisfactory, and if he could meet any musician, he’d choose Paul McCartney!

We’re proud of Max’s curiosity, creativity, and steady growth and consistency with music. Keep exploring, keep experimenting, and keep making music — we’re excited to see where it takes you! 🎸✨

If you or your child feels like you can relate to Max then you should sign up for Music lessons!
