And that spectrum of getting them early and introducing music to their young brain so that they're learning music as a language, you know, absorbing it and then moving on to private lessons or these group classes that that John is teaching to the older kids.

Can I interject and add something here? Because I think the benefit that, at least in my mind, that I think it really brings to a really broad spectrum of listeners being music school owners is, again, I didn't go to school for music.

John KozickiGUEST

John KozickiGUEST

John KozickiGUEST
