All about that BASS and 20k! We've hit 20k! That's amazing. I'm loving this music journey and discovering so many cool artists and bands. I'm really enjoying progressive rock now. Thank you all for the great recommendations! A lot of these songs get added to my playlist and I listen to them all the time now. I've also started playing the bass about a month ago. I'm loving it. My dad said no more new instruments this year (I want an saxophone now...haha)! I practice piano, guitar, bass, and drums daily now and it's so fun!

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 I'm a drummer now! Let's go! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 My dad got me an e-drum kit today. I'm so excited! I've been falling in love with the drums and the reaction last week with Neil Peart's solo just put me over the top! I'm so ready to practice a lot with this starter kit! That's piano, guitar, and the drums now. Last thing I want this year is a bass guitar..lol. I'm looking forward to working on my timing and I'm sure it will help my guitar playing too! Pretty soon you'll get an intro to the reactions with my drumming! With excitement and gratitude, Leona

We're launching something REALLY special on Monday... Our first deep dive music documentary is dropping - and we're starting with the legend himself: JIMI HENDRIX 🔥 We've spent weeks researching, writing, and putting together what we hope is an incredible deep dive into his music, his genius, and his story. This isn't just surface-level stuff - we're going DEEP into the musicality, the techniques, the cultural impact... all of it. Leona really loved creating this one as Jimi is who inspired her to learn the guitar! Here's where YOU come in: This is our first documentary in this style, and we honestly want to know what you think. If you've been following along with our reactions and breakdowns, this is the next level. But we need your honest feedback: ✅ Did it keep you engaged the whole way through? ✅ Was the musical analysis interesting/too much/not enough? ✅ What would you want to see in future documentaries? Drop it on MONDAY at 4pm EST - and we'd really appreciate if you could: Watch it all the way through (retention helps us SO much!) Leave a comment with your thoughts Let us know who you'd want to see us cover next We're so excited (and a little nervous!) to share this with you. Let's see if we can do justice to one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived 🎸⚡ See you Monday!

🎸 We Have Some Incredible News to Share! 🎸 Leona has been awarded a full scholarship to Justin Guitar's Blues Immersion program — and she's by far the youngest guitarist in the program's history! If you're not familiar with Justin Guitar, it's one of the world's most respected guitar learning platforms, and their 6-month Blues Immersion intensive is designed for dedicated musicians ready to master the blues. When we got the news, we honestly couldn't believe it. Leona will be learning alongside adults diving deep into blues guitar techniques, improvisation, theory, and the rich history of blues music. This is going to be an amazing journey, and we're so grateful to Justin Guitar for believing in Leona's potential. We'll be sharing updates along the way, and we know this experience is going to bring even more depth to our reactions and music documentaries. Thank you all for your incredible support — this is a great way to get ready for 2026! With excitement and gratitude, Leona

We’ve passed 10k subscribers!! Thank you all for supporting Leona’s music journey! She’s experienced so much musical growth listening to such beautiful, classic music. We would have never imagined that our home would be filled with so much music from 50,60, and 70 years ago or that Leona would fall in love with heavy metal music! Leona had the idea of starting this channel to marry it with her music studies. She saw a music review video one day and said “I can do that!!”. So we said.. “Ok.. you can do it and we’ll help you!”. We never imagined she’d have thousands of people listening to her reactions. It’s cool. Not only are the recommendations great, we also learn a lot in the comments with all the wonderful information that you all share about the artists, songs, eras, etc. She plays multiple instruments and studies music theory, does ear training, etc. Watching these “real” musicians really expands her music ear, helps her understand song construction, etc. It’s a joy to see her musical vocabulary expand and her love for music just growing daily.. It’s also a bit funny to hear an 8 year old walking around the house singing songs like Deep Purple’s “Child in Time”. And now her dad blasts Buckethead all day. This is a man who didn’t really listen to rock music at all and now he jams to heavy metal, daily. It’s insane! Soon, we’re going to shift our format again by digging a bit deeper into the music and also improving our audio equipment. We always tell Leona to just do your best with everything you do, get a bit better every day, and have fun! So expect better reactions and even more fun! We want to keep exploring great music and have a big 2026. Next stop! 25k!
