In this episode, Zeke and Millie look back on their experiences performing in Christmas concerts and reflect on what it really feels like stepping onto a stage — the nerves, the excitement, and the buzz when it’s all over.
They also explore something really interesting: their different musical philosophies.
🎼 Zeke is a more traditional musician — focused on technique, accuracy, and getting things “right,” but sometimes finds confidence and self-expression a challenge.
🎶 Millie, on the other hand, is more creative — exploring songwriting, creating music, and improvising freely in the moment.
Together, they share the pros and cons of both styles, why each approach matters, and how learning music isn’t just about notes — it’s about finding your own voice.
Plus, we look ahead to what’s coming up at Coventry Music over the next few weeks, and why now is a great time to get involved in lessons, groups, choirs, ensembles, bands, and live performance opportunities across the city.
