Entrepreneurial Student Hosts Music Lessons in Flag Room
For anyone who has studied in the MSC Flag Room, the sound of a woefully untalented musician is nothing foreign. One entrepreneurial student has announced her intention to improve the music quality of the room by hosting music lessons at the Flag Room piano. She plans to start her business using knowledge from her incomplete business degree.
“One day while I was studying finance in the Flag Room, I realized that the music in the background could use some coaching,” said Isabel Roche, a senior management major. “It was then and there that I decided to start hosting music lessons in the Flag Room for anyone wanting to play the piano without causing nearby students to reach for their headphones.”
Roche has determined that she can save on the costs of hosting music lessons by using the equipment already provided in the Flag Room. “It’s great, I don’t have to worry about bringing any materials for these lessons,” Roche said. “Sure, people studying might have to suffer through my criticism of each student and the endless repeating of C major scales, but it’s in their best interest that my students eventually learn to play well in the Flag Room.”
While some may feel that a full music lesson being hosted in a shared student area is a waste of campus resources, Roche insists that her new business design provides a convenient way to teach piano to the students who would otherwise force others to endure their poor playing in the Flag Room anyways. When asked about the available practice rooms in the MSC basement, Roche insisted that the spaces were not applicable to her teaching model. “My students need to learn how to perform under pressure by playing for the captive MSC Flag Room audience.”
— Hannibal Lechner
While Hannibal might come across as some psychotic murderer, he’s really just a University Honors student, got it? Yeah sure, he makes prolonged eye contact as you pass by the couches in the Lechner hallway, and his intense obsession with true crime podcasts might make you uneasy, but he’s maybe only a little bit of a sociopath at best. Leave the serial killer vibes to McFadden, okay?
