That's it.
All right.
You, you had been a student atSchool of Rock since you were,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (01:07):

Since February of 2013 was yourver February 10th, 2013 to be
precise was your very firstmusic lesson, and you have been

the most part.
since then and a couple of weeks
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (01:29):
on the 24th of September.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (01:32):
You took, what was your very last
lesson at School of
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (01:38):
It was quite sad.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (01:40):
It was really sad.
It was a, like a monumental partof your life for, well, more
than half of your life,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (01:49):
Yep.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (01:51):
close to 10 years, and you're only 16.
So that's, let's see, tens of10, five eighths.
So that's like 63% of your.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:00):
Oh wow.
That was some quick math.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:02):
Yeah.
To haha.
yeah, just a massive part ofyour life going there, every
week, sometimes two times aweek, sometimes three times a
week, for lessons andrehearsals, and
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:14):
it was four times a week.
dad_4_10-02-2022_1930 (02:15):
Sometimes it was four times a week.
we, you were there a lot.
you were, by far the longest.
At least at that particularlocation, the longest standing
student, probably in the historyof the history of that school.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:29):
Yeah.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:31):
Cuz it didn't, it opened not, not long
before you started, the schoolopened and there wasn't like,
no.
Yeah.
And of the people that werethere from when you started,
they had long since graduated
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:42):
they were way, they were way older.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:44):
Yeah.
They were all high schoolstudents and they're long gone.
So, It, it was a really goodthing for you.
School of
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:53):
I would say so I enjoyed it.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (02:56):
I mean, it was fun, but it opened like
so many, like doors for you.
So many cool things.
You get to
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:01):
I got to do.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:03):
how many, like,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:05):
to meet a lot of cool people,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:08):
well, you did get to meet a lot of
cool people.
It put you, I.
I mean, how many performances doyou think you did through that
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:15):
Oh, at least a couple
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:16):
of like 10 years?
Yeah, a couple hundred.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:19):
well, no, not well.
Oh no, Cuz I guess juniorheadliners, I don't know at
least a hundred.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:27):
So
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:28):
Well, I was in 19 shows, Wait, no,
maybe it was 20.
I don't know.
I was in a lot of shows timestwo performances, sometimes
three for parking lot shows.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:36):
Right.
So you're thinking, so you'remaybe around 50 performances
through the shows
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:41):
I was in junior headliners for
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:44):
five
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:44):
five years and.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:46):
So another maybe 10 performances.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:49):
A year.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:49):
you were, you were north of a
hundred shows, which is a coit's a, it's a career for some
musicians.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:55):
Yeah.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:57):
Yeah.
And it, Well, let's, so, well,let's back up.
So the program itself is aperformance based music
education program.
The program works, I mean, youget music lessons on your
instrument of choice, and youtook lessons both for guitar and
then
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:15):
I didn't wanna start with guitar
though.
I wanted to do vocals and yousaid I couldn't cuz it was in a
real instrument and then Iwanted to do drums and you said
it was too loud.
So I settled on guitar
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:24):
What you wanted to do was you never
asked, You asked for guitarfirst.
I don't remember you asking for,I don't remember you asking for
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:30):
I remember asking for vocals.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:32):
but you definitely asked for drums and
your mom are like, We don't wantdrums in
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:35):
We have drums in the house,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:37):
now we do.
But yeah, I think you gotta knowyour kid's personality.
And I said, you know, if you'rein the drums, you're in the back
and nobody sees you.
And if you're play guitar, youget to be out front.
Sometimes they put a microphonein front of you, sometimes you
get to sing.
And then you were, you were all,you were all about that.
but it, but it's a performancebased program, meaning that in
addition to the lessons, Thereare like genre based shows or
(04:59):
artist based shows that run forlike three or four months at a
time, and then you get matchedup with other kids.
And then every three or fourmonths, I would say it's a
recital, but it's not, I mean,it's in a
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:08):
show.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:09):
or a club and it's like in like a
legit like of.
Varying degrees of qualitydepending on kind of how the
group, cuz you gotta meshquickly with new kids each,
every three or four months.
But so a varying degrees ofquality, but it is like an act.
It's going to like an actual,like rock concert.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:25):
Yeah.
And then they have.
When I was there, they didn'thave the rookies program yet,
but that's, if you're like, I, Imean I probably would've been in
it if they had it at the time.
That's for like pretty youngkids who don't like, who have
never touched an instrumentbefore.
And they, they don't do anyshows, but they get to like
learn how to play theinstruments and they have Rock 1
(05:46):
0 1, which I did three times,which is like a show, but
there's only four songs andyou're on like all of.
And they're just simpler songs.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:58):
Yeah, but
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:59):
But even when I was, when they did,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:01):
I lost my train of thought.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:02):
Even when they did 1 0 1 the first
year I was, The first year thatI did it, I was the only student
in it cuz there was not verymany people at the school yet.
And now they
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:10):
were the one.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:11):
1 0 1 groups cuz of how
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:12):
You were the, You were the one in
the 1 0 1.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:15):
I was Nora and the
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:17):
you, were, you were it Nora and the
Troopers.
Which ultimately connected youwith the old 90 sevens, which
was a good, which is a goodconnection for you to have
School of Rock, put you onSchool of Rock, put you on stage
with Roger
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:31):
They did do that
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:31):
a really.
Which was a, We've told thatstory before.
That was a really cool thing.
It's put you on stage at theRock and Roll Hall of Fame more
times than a lot of people whoare inducted in the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame have playedthe rock hall.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:44):
Yeah, no, I've gotten to play cool
places and do fun things.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:48):
Yeah, but unfortunately the time came
for School of Rock to come to anend.
I mean, it would've ended whenyou graduated high school
anyway, which is gonna be inless than two years.
But I think the time Was it justyou weren't doing shows anymore
with School of Rock?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (07:02):
I'm just, and I was missing half my
lessons cuz I have.
My own shows and I have a joband a boyfriend in school and
stuff,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (07:12):
Life got life got
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (07:14):
yeah.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (07:15):
Life just got, it was much easier to
manage when you were like alittle kid and all, all you had
besides that, that was like theone activity you did, but that
was it.
You did that and you went toschool, right?
And now you have a job that,that is, keeps you busy a couple
nights a week and you go toschool and you're busy with
activities at school.
(07:36):
Go mock trial, Lake Ridge 20 22,20 23.
It school activities keep youbusy and then you want to hang
out with friends and you wannahang out with your boyfriend,
and we like to see you every nowand again too.
And it's just nice to sleep inon a Saturday morning and not
have, be obligated to schlepyou.
Down to a music lesson and and Imean the, the reality is you
(08:01):
probably, you, you mightdisagree, but I, I think you
probably outgrew or surpassedkind of the benefit that the
program was gonna, was gonnagive you.
norah_4_10-02-2022_19 (08:10):
disagree.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:12):
You disagree?
You still think
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:13):
more to learn.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:14):
Okay?
Fair enough.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193 (08:16):
Certain, like I still cannot solo on the
guitar.
Just, that's the skill I neverlearned, cuz I never felt like I
needed to learn it for the songsI was playing like,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:24):
Do you want to do, do you want to be
able to solo on the guitar?
norah_4_10-02-2022_ (08:28):
Eventually,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:29):
Okay.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:30):
but I mean, I
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:30):
Well, I mean, you can,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:31):
to teach myself that it would just
go easier if I had someone elseteaching me, you
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:35):
Boy, that's what I'm saying.
I mean, you definitely have allthe,
norah_4_10-02-2022_19303 (08:37):
thing.
Like I can, I can do stuffmyself.
It's just more fun to do withsomeone else.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:42):
Of course, of course.
But you're also you know, you'rebooking gigs at the same venues
where.
Were the instructors book gigs.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:53):
Yeah.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:54):
Yeah.
So I mean, to the extent the,the goal of the program is to
like, make you a mu, make you amusician to, I mean, it's, I
mean, it did, it did.
I mean, you're like a workingprofessional musician, so I
mean, mission.
I suppose so and, I mean, andthe, the friends that just
(09:18):
because you leave a place, Imean the friends, it, it takes
effort.
There's people that you won'tsee every week, and it will
definitely take more of aneffort to maintain like those
relationships.
But,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (09:29):
in shows I.
I mean, I have like friends whogo to school of rap.
I wouldn't consider myself tohave like best friends like I
used to when I went theremultiple times a week.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (09:39):
Oh, no, I'm talking about like the
instructor.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (09:41):
Oh, yes.
No, they're my friends.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (09:43):
Yeah.
I mean, I'm right.
And so it will take effort toYes, you definitely.
You've always connected betterwith adults than you did with
kids, even when you were like alittle kid.
You connected better with likehigh schoolers than you did with
kids your own age.
And I think you probably connectbetter now with adults than you
do with your peers.
That's just, just anobservation.
But you definitely connectedbetter with the instructors at
(10:06):
the school that you did withthe, with the other kids, taking
the lessons and doing the shows,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:11):
not all of them.
I have my friend Gabby, who.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:14):
who's older?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:15):
a senior in college now, I
believe.
And
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:18):
Thank you for proving my
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:19):
yeah, and like she, she was at School
of Rock when I started, like, Ithink in like the second show I
did.
She was, that was her firstshow, like, so she watched me
grow up and like, I don't talkto her every day, but we still
chit chat every once in a while.
There's other
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:34):
just, it takes,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:35):
to me when they went to
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:36):
that's a whole nother story, but
there's but there you know, asyou, as you grow up, You move
through life, you will find thatpeople will come in and out
based on the things where youare and places you are and
things you do, and somerelationships that are worth
keeping.
Just, it just takes effort tokeep those relationships going.
So, yeah.
(10:56):
But like I said, it was, it wasI think an amazing.
Program for you to, for you tobe a part of.
I, I think it definitelyaccelerated your growth as a
musician.
It's not a traditional musicprogram and that you don't sit
and learn scales and, and, youknow, and,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:16):
but they don't start with that.
When you get older is when youlearn that kind of stuff.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:20):
They start, they teach you how to
play songs, and then the theorycomes by playing the music.
They don't teach you the theoryand then build songs on top of
the theory.
It's kind of in reverse, but itit worked.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:30):
no, I can, I can listen to a song and
know how to play it, which Ithink is much more helpful than
being able to read Cheat Music.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:37):
yeah.
What you were, you played youplayed a show.
Friday night and we were drivingFriday morning, I was driving
you to school and no rain byBlend Mellon came on the radio
and I thought, I thought tomyself but didn't say it cuz his
voice is a little
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:52):
his voice is so high.
I.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:55):
I thought, I thought to myself ah,
this will be a really, it's gotthat kind of acoustic the
acoustic part in the song.
I thought, Oh, this will be a,yeah, this will be a really, I
thought to myself, ah, that'swould really cool if nor covered
this song.
And then we were sitting thereFriday night and then you busted
it out and cuz you had this samethought, but you had said that
you just kind of listened to ita few times at school and you're
like, Oh, I can play this.
(12:15):
And then you just, and then youplayed it
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:17):
Yeah, I mean I had a tab, but I knew
how the song went and I was ableto know like, cuz most of the
time tabs aren't correct.
So I knew like, Oh, this cordwouldn't fit there, so I did a
different chord instead.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:30):
And it sounded great.
It's one that you should keep.
It's one that you should keep inthe repertoire.
That's a good, that's a goodsong.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:37):
You said you don't like blind melon.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:39):
I don't, Well, I
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:40):
like blind melon.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:41):
when I was in, when I was at law
school.
They came and played a show andI was all excited to go see
them.
And like there was no Spotifyback then.
You either bought the album orbought the cd or you just knew
the songs were on the radio andI didn't have their cd, so I
just knew that song that was onthe radio.
And it sounds like none of theirother
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:59):
No, it doesn't.
That's why I
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:01):
Yeah, it just, it just wasn't what I
expected.
So it was like an hour of like,Like, like hard, heavy music.
And then like that song, theylike closed with that song.
And that's what, so everybodyjust wanted to hear that song
and, and we were all very therewas thousands of people that
were very disappointed until,until the
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:21):
well, I like the rest of their music.
I think No Rain is one of theirworst songs.
Not that it's a bad song.
I just like their other stuffmore.
dad_4_10-02-2022_1 (13:29):
Interesting.
Very interesting.
And, and now he's, now he's no
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:36):
I know I didn't know that until I
was trying to learn another songby them with Ed, who's my guitar
teacher for the listeners, orwas my guitar teacher and.
Yeah, and then I looked up, Ilooked up the band.
I was like, Oh, I didn't knowthat he passed away, like when
he was really young,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:54):
Yeah.
Yeah.
He had, he had, he had someissue.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:56):
as most mu musicians do.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:58):
As well.
Now, I wouldn't say most,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:01):
maybe not now, but in the past, lots
of musicians
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:08):
Oh no, I don't think it's any
different.
I don't think it's any differentnow.
I think there are definitely.
I think a lot of artists,whether you're a musician or an
actor or a painter or whatever,I think they, I think they cope
with their, they, they workthrough their struggles, through
their art.
And sometimes they, sometimestheir struggles, sometimes their
(14:30):
struggles get the best of them,and it's, it's unfortunate when
it does.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:33):
Yes.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:34):
all that is.
That is all so school of rockthat, that phase of your life is
no more.
But but rock and roll is eternalThat sounded so
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:46):
That was very cheesy.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:47):
Yeah.
So anything else you wanna sayabout the School of Rock?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:50):
Thank you.
I don't know if my instructorswill listen to this, but I
worked with a lot of people overthe year and thank you to all of
them.
Ed is the only person that Istayed constant with though all
of my time.
So
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:02):
He was the
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:02):
for the win
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:04):
He was he was the guitar teacher that
gave you your very first lessonand Yeah.
And he was, your guitar teachergave you your very last lesson
and he was with you for yourentire, almost 10 years and has,
and has become a really goodfriend of ours.
It's weird how
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:17):
Uncle Ed,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:19):
Yeah, it's weird I think people come
into your life for a reason andhe's one person that I
definitely think came into ourlife for a reason.
Just one of the most solid dudesI've ever met.
So yes, Uncle Ed for the win,and he is someone that I know we
will, and he's someone I knowwill stay friends with, even
though we're not gonna see himevery week.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:33):
and he still has stuff on, on his
wall that are from like my firstyear there.
Like there's a card that Iwrote.
I vividly remember making it atGrandma and Grandpa Clan's
house, and there's a picture ofa guitar with an amp on the, it
was like a piece of paper foldedand a half to make a card, and
it says, Dear Mr.
Ed.
(15:53):
Thank you for being the bestteacher over because I feel ever
wrong.
But then instead of startingover again, I just drew an E
inside of the O and then it saysNora.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:03):
Instead of starting ever.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:05):
Yep.
And that was a good one.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:07):
Ah, I see what I did.
norah_4_10-02-2022_ (16:10):
Situational irony.
That's my new
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:13):
I don't know if that's, I don't know.
I don't know if that's what thatwas, but, Okay.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:17):
you to do something and then you did
the other thing.
That's
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:20):
Oh, okay.
norah_4_10-02-2022_19303 (16:22):

dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:23):
There you go.
AP English.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:25):
why jokes are funny.
Now, like the other, or No,someone said something, they
were like, Ugh, I hate you, butlike as a joke, like friends,
right?
And I was like, Oh my God,that's sarcasm.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:38):
Do you know what make you know what
makes jokes not
norah_4_10-02-2022_1 (16:39):
explaining them.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:41):
When do you explain the joke?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:42):
but it makes it funny for me.
I don't care if it ruins it forother people.
I'll be selfish.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:48):
that's, geez.
Now we get it.
Now we see.
Now we see where it
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:54):

I will miss it.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:37):
Yeah, we're gonna miss it too.
I can't say I loved all of theshows you did over the course of
the
norah_4_10-02-2022_193 (17:43):
favorite and which was your favorite?
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:47):
which was my least
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:48):
My least favorite was eighties and
my favorite was punk pollution.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:52):
punk illusion was a banger of a show.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:54):
good.
That's cause,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:55):
still watch, I still watch those.
I, I still watch those videosevery now
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:58):
do too.
That's cuz the group mergedreally well together.
We just happened to get alongreally well.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:04):
Good, good
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:05):
Oh, Left of the dial was a really
good show too.
I don't know how the musicalquality was, but we all had fun.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:11):
I think my least favorite show you did
in terms of the quality of themusic.
I don't know.
The Jack White one was really
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:24):
Oh, I really like
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:25):
That and punk ellian were the two
best.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:27):
I don't know if eighties had bad
music.
It was just right after grandmaand Grandpa passed.
So I have different emotionsassociated with that show.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:36):
Oh, that exposed you to so much, so
many different styles of musictoo, doing, going through that
program for all those years.
norah_4_10-02-2022_19303 (18:40):
didn't like the emo show, but that's
cuz that was over covid.
So I had to listen to the samesongs for like seven months and
I just got so tired of them andI just didn't want to listen to
them or play them ever again.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:53):
Fair enough.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Favorite shows.
I, I think the Jack White andand punk Ellucian were musically
were by far the two best handsdown.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:04):
Yeah.
I think group wise too, both ofthose shows had good people in
them
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:08):
You could have taken either one of
those, the punk ellucian one forsure.
Like you could have taken likeon the road to clubs and charged
people money to watch that.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:16):
well, so we did one song Second Wave
of Goodbye by War and Women, andyou posted that.
On Instagram or Twitter orsomething, and the band saw it
and they loved it, which issuper cool.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:29):
I think, I think Ed
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:31):
Was it Ed?
I thought it was
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:32):
Ed, I think.
I think Ed sent it to the bandor shared it with the band.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:36):
Hmm.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:37):
I think Ed did and then they, And they
posted it on their Facebookpage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:43):
Lots of cool experiences that came
out of.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:46):
Yeah.
You know, the, the old 97 sharedwhen you were like itty bitty,
shared one of, one of yourschool of rock songs on their
Facebook page, and that wasreally cool.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:55):

dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:57):

You know, Roger Waters
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:58):
okay.
He mentioned us by name.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (20:00):
Well, he mentioned is by name a couple
nights later, cuz I wrote the,the blog thing about the
experience.
But, but then you would, like,he had the, his Instagram post
where you were like allbackstage hanging out with him.
I mean, it was, it was, I burp,I'm gonna try again.
It was, it was experiences thatmost people don't get to have in
(20:21):
a lifetime that you compiledwell before, like you became a
teenager, which I thought was
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (20:26):
No, I have so many fun experiences and
I, I, I'm very privileged tohave been able to have those
experiences.
It's not, you know, I mean inorder to do that stuff you have
to be financially stable too.
So I'm very grateful that youand mom were able to put money
towards that cuz it made me intothe person that I am
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (20:49):
Our pleasure, but you are, You are
very welcome.
That's part of our job isfinding, finding what you have a
passion for, and then throwingmoney at
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (20:58):
It was horseback riding and then I
had to stop that cuz the schoolhad broke.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:01):
It couldn't be both.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:02):
Too expensive for both
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:04):
yes, it was definitely one or the other.
And, and time too.
Like you just don't, like it wasa commitment of that.
They both are, would've beenlike, substantial commitments of
time.
And so we just, we were like,you gotta pick one.
And the guitar felt right.
So there it was.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:18):
Yeah.
I mean, I knew plenty of myfriends did horseback riding.
None of them played guitar, so.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:25):
Very, very, very, very true.
Well, I don't know if you wantit to be different, but it's
just Yes.

than half of your life,

Yep.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (01:51):

through the shows
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:41):
I was in junior headliners for
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:44):
five
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:44):
five years and.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:46):
So another maybe 10 performances.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:49):
A year.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:49):
you were, you were north of a
hundred shows, which is a coit's a, it's a career for some
musicians.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:55):
Yeah.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (03:57):
Yeah.
And it, Well, let's, so, well,let's back up.
So the program itself is aperformance based music
education program.
The program works, I mean, youget music lessons on your
instrument of choice, and youtook lessons both for guitar and
then
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:15):
I didn't wanna start with guitar
though.
I wanted to do vocals and yousaid I couldn't cuz it was in a
real instrument and then Iwanted to do drums and you said
it was too loud.
So I settled on guitar
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:24):
What you wanted to do was you never
asked, You asked for guitarfirst.
I don't remember you asking for,I don't remember you asking for
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:30):
I remember asking for vocals.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:32):
but you definitely asked for drums and
your mom are like, We don't wantdrums in
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:35):
We have drums in the house,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (04:37):
now we do.
But yeah, I think you gotta knowyour kid's personality.
And I said, you know, if you'rein the drums, you're in the back
and nobody sees you.
And if you're play guitar, youget to be out front.
Sometimes they put a microphonein front of you, sometimes you
get to sing.
And then you were, you were all,you were all about that.
but it, but it's a performancebased program, meaning that in
addition to the lessons, Thereare like genre based shows or
(04:59):
artist based shows that run forlike three or four months at a
time, and then you get matchedup with other kids.
And then every three or fourmonths, I would say it's a
recital, but it's not, I mean,it's in a
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:08):
show.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:09):
or a club and it's like in like a
legit like of.
Varying degrees of qualitydepending on kind of how the
group, cuz you gotta meshquickly with new kids each,
every three or four months.
But so a varying degrees ofquality, but it is like an act.
It's going to like an actual,like rock concert.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:25):
Yeah.
And then they have.
When I was there, they didn'thave the rookies program yet,
but that's, if you're like, I, Imean I probably would've been in
it if they had it at the time.
That's for like pretty youngkids who don't like, who have
never touched an instrumentbefore.
And they, they don't do anyshows, but they get to like
learn how to play theinstruments and they have Rock 1
(05:46):
0 1, which I did three times,which is like a show, but
there's only four songs andyou're on like all of.
And they're just simpler songs.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:58):
Yeah, but
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (05:59):
But even when I was, when they did,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:01):
I lost my train of thought.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:02):
Even when they did 1 0 1 the first
year I was, The first year thatI did it, I was the only student
in it cuz there was not verymany people at the school yet.
And now they
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:10):
were the one.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:11):
1 0 1 groups cuz of how
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:12):
You were the, You were the one in
the 1 0 1.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:15):
I was Nora and the
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:17):
you, were, you were it Nora and the
Troopers.
Which ultimately connected youwith the old 90 sevens, which
was a good, which is a goodconnection for you to have
School of Rock, put you onSchool of Rock, put you on stage
with Roger
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:31):
They did do that
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:31):
a really.
Which was a, We've told thatstory before.
That was a really cool thing.
It's put you on stage at theRock and Roll Hall of Fame more
times than a lot of people whoare inducted in the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame have playedthe rock hall.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:44):
Yeah, no, I've gotten to play cool
places and do fun things.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (06:48):
Yeah, but unfortunately the time came
for School of Rock to come to anend.
I mean, it would've ended whenyou graduated high school
anyway, which is gonna be inless than two years.
But I think the time Was it justyou weren't doing shows anymore
with School of Rock?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (07:02):
I'm just, and I was missing half my
lessons cuz I have.
My own shows and I have a joband a boyfriend in school and
stuff,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (07:12):
Life got life got
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (07:14):
yeah.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (07:15):
Life just got, it was much easier to
manage when you were like alittle kid and all, all you had
besides that, that was like theone activity you did, but that
was it.
You did that and you went toschool, right?
And now you have a job that,that is, keeps you busy a couple
nights a week and you go toschool and you're busy with
activities at school.
(07:36):
Go mock trial, Lake Ridge 20 22,20 23.
It school activities keep youbusy and then you want to hang
out with friends and you wannahang out with your boyfriend,
and we like to see you every nowand again too.
And it's just nice to sleep inon a Saturday morning and not
have, be obligated to schlepyou.
Down to a music lesson and and Imean the, the reality is you
(08:01):
probably, you, you mightdisagree, but I, I think you
probably outgrew or surpassedkind of the benefit that the
program was gonna, was gonnagive you.
norah_4_10-02-2022_19 (08:10):
disagree.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:12):
You disagree?
You still think
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:13):
more to learn.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:14):
Okay?
Fair enough.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193 (08:16):
Certain, like I still cannot solo on the
guitar.
Just, that's the skill I neverlearned, cuz I never felt like I
needed to learn it for the songsI was playing like,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:24):
Do you want to do, do you want to be
able to solo on the guitar?
norah_4_10-02-2022_ (08:28):
Eventually,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:29):
Okay.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:30):
but I mean, I
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:30):
Well, I mean, you can,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:31):
to teach myself that it would just
go easier if I had someone elseteaching me, you
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:35):
Boy, that's what I'm saying.
I mean, you definitely have allthe,
norah_4_10-02-2022_19303 (08:37):
thing.
Like I can, I can do stuffmyself.
It's just more fun to do withsomeone else.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:42):
Of course, of course.
But you're also you know, you'rebooking gigs at the same venues
where.
Were the instructors book gigs.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:53):
Yeah.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (08:54):
Yeah.
So I mean, to the extent the,the goal of the program is to
like, make you a mu, make you amusician to, I mean, it's, I
mean, it did, it did.
I mean, you're like a workingprofessional musician, so I
mean, mission.
I suppose so and, I mean, andthe, the friends that just
(09:18):
because you leave a place, Imean the friends, it, it takes
effort.
There's people that you won'tsee every week, and it will
definitely take more of aneffort to maintain like those
relationships.
But,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (09:29):
in shows I.
I mean, I have like friends whogo to school of rap.
I wouldn't consider myself tohave like best friends like I
used to when I went theremultiple times a week.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (09:39):
Oh, no, I'm talking about like the
instructor.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (09:41):
Oh, yes.
No, they're my friends.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (09:43):
Yeah.
I mean, I'm right.
And so it will take effort toYes, you definitely.
You've always connected betterwith adults than you did with
kids, even when you were like alittle kid.
You connected better with likehigh schoolers than you did with
kids your own age.
And I think you probably connectbetter now with adults than you
do with your peers.
That's just, just anobservation.
But you definitely connectedbetter with the instructors at
(10:06):
the school that you did withthe, with the other kids, taking
the lessons and doing the shows,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:11):
not all of them.
I have my friend Gabby, who.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:14):
who's older?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:15):
a senior in college now, I
believe.
And
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:18):
Thank you for proving my
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:19):
yeah, and like she, she was at School
of Rock when I started, like, Ithink in like the second show I
did.
She was, that was her firstshow, like, so she watched me
grow up and like, I don't talkto her every day, but we still
chit chat every once in a while.
There's other
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:34):
just, it takes,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:35):
to me when they went to
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (10:36):
that's a whole nother story, but
there's but there you know, asyou, as you grow up, You move
through life, you will find thatpeople will come in and out
based on the things where youare and places you are and
things you do, and somerelationships that are worth
keeping.
Just, it just takes effort tokeep those relationships going.
So, yeah.
(10:56):
But like I said, it was, it wasI think an amazing.
Program for you to, for you tobe a part of.
I, I think it definitelyaccelerated your growth as a
musician.
It's not a traditional musicprogram and that you don't sit
and learn scales and, and, youknow, and,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:16):
but they don't start with that.
When you get older is when youlearn that kind of stuff.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:20):
They start, they teach you how to
play songs, and then the theorycomes by playing the music.
They don't teach you the theoryand then build songs on top of
the theory.
It's kind of in reverse, but itit worked.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:30):
no, I can, I can listen to a song and
know how to play it, which Ithink is much more helpful than
being able to read Cheat Music.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:37):
yeah.
What you were, you played youplayed a show.
Friday night and we were drivingFriday morning, I was driving
you to school and no rain byBlend Mellon came on the radio
and I thought, I thought tomyself but didn't say it cuz his
voice is a little
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:52):
his voice is so high.
I.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (11:55):
I thought, I thought to myself ah,
this will be a really, it's gotthat kind of acoustic the
acoustic part in the song.
I thought, Oh, this will be a,yeah, this will be a really, I
thought to myself, ah, that'swould really cool if nor covered
this song.
And then we were sitting thereFriday night and then you busted
it out and cuz you had this samethought, but you had said that
you just kind of listened to ita few times at school and you're
like, Oh, I can play this.
(12:15):
And then you just, and then youplayed it
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:17):
Yeah, I mean I had a tab, but I knew
how the song went and I was ableto know like, cuz most of the
time tabs aren't correct.
So I knew like, Oh, this cordwouldn't fit there, so I did a
different chord instead.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:30):
And it sounded great.
It's one that you should keep.
It's one that you should keep inthe repertoire.
That's a good, that's a goodsong.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:37):
You said you don't like blind melon.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:39):
I don't, Well, I
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:40):
like blind melon.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:41):
when I was in, when I was at law
school.
They came and played a show andI was all excited to go see
them.
And like there was no Spotifyback then.
You either bought the album orbought the cd or you just knew
the songs were on the radio andI didn't have their cd, so I
just knew that song that was onthe radio.
And it sounds like none of theirother
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (12:59):
No, it doesn't.
That's why I
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:01):
Yeah, it just, it just wasn't what I
expected.
So it was like an hour of like,Like, like hard, heavy music.
And then like that song, theylike closed with that song.
And that's what, so everybodyjust wanted to hear that song
and, and we were all very therewas thousands of people that
were very disappointed until,until the
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:21):
well, I like the rest of their music.
I think No Rain is one of theirworst songs.
Not that it's a bad song.
I just like their other stuffmore.
dad_4_10-02-2022_1 (13:29):
Interesting.
Very interesting.
And, and now he's, now he's no
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:36):
I know I didn't know that until I
was trying to learn another songby them with Ed, who's my guitar
teacher for the listeners, orwas my guitar teacher and.
Yeah, and then I looked up, Ilooked up the band.
I was like, Oh, I didn't knowthat he passed away, like when
he was really young,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:54):
Yeah.
Yeah.
He had, he had, he had someissue.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:56):
as most mu musicians do.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (13:58):
As well.
Now, I wouldn't say most,
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:01):
maybe not now, but in the past, lots
of musicians
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:08):
Oh no, I don't think it's any
different.
I don't think it's any differentnow.
I think there are definitely.
I think a lot of artists,whether you're a musician or an
actor or a painter or whatever,I think they, I think they cope
with their, they, they workthrough their struggles, through
their art.
And sometimes they, sometimestheir struggles, sometimes their
(14:30):
struggles get the best of them,and it's, it's unfortunate when
it does.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:33):
Yes.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:34):
all that is.
That is all so school of rockthat, that phase of your life is
no more.
But but rock and roll is eternalThat sounded so
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:46):
That was very cheesy.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:47):
Yeah.
So anything else you wanna sayabout the School of Rock?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (14:50):
Thank you.
I don't know if my instructorswill listen to this, but I
worked with a lot of people overthe year and thank you to all of
them.
Ed is the only person that Istayed constant with though all
of my time.
So
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:02):
He was the
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:02):
for the win
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:04):
He was he was the guitar teacher that
gave you your very first lessonand Yeah.
And he was, your guitar teachergave you your very last lesson
and he was with you for yourentire, almost 10 years and has,
and has become a really goodfriend of ours.
It's weird how
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:17):
Uncle Ed,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:19):
Yeah, it's weird I think people come
into your life for a reason andhe's one person that I
definitely think came into ourlife for a reason.
Just one of the most solid dudesI've ever met.
So yes, Uncle Ed for the win,and he is someone that I know we
will, and he's someone I knowwill stay friends with, even
though we're not gonna see himevery week.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (15:33):
and he still has stuff on, on his
wall that are from like my firstyear there.
Like there's a card that Iwrote.
I vividly remember making it atGrandma and Grandpa Clan's
house, and there's a picture ofa guitar with an amp on the, it
was like a piece of paper foldedand a half to make a card, and
it says, Dear Mr.
Ed.
(15:53):
Thank you for being the bestteacher over because I feel ever
wrong.
But then instead of startingover again, I just drew an E
inside of the O and then it saysNora.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:03):
Instead of starting ever.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:05):
Yep.
And that was a good one.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:07):
Ah, I see what I did.
norah_4_10-02-2022_ (16:10):
Situational irony.
That's my new
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:13):
I don't know if that's, I don't know.
I don't know if that's what thatwas, but, Okay.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:17):

the other thing.
That's
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:20):
Oh, okay.
norah_4_10-02-2022_19303 (16:22):

There you go.
AP English.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:25):
why jokes are funny.
Now, like the other, or No,someone said something, they
were like, Ugh, I hate you, butlike as a joke, like friends,
right?
And I was like, Oh my God,that's sarcasm.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:38):
Do you know what make you know what
makes jokes not
norah_4_10-02-2022_1 (16:39):
explaining them.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:41):
When do you explain the joke?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:42):
but it makes it funny for me.
I don't care if it ruins it forother people.
I'll be selfish.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (16:48):
that's, geez.
Now we get it.
Now we see.
Now we see where it

I'm glad you think so
dad_4_10-02-2022_19303 (17:34):
anything else to add about the old school
rock?
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:36):
I will miss it.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:37):
Yeah, we're gonna miss it too.
I can't say I loved all of theshows you did over the course of
the
norah_4_10-02-2022_193 (17:43):
favorite and which was your favorite?
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:47):
which was my least
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:48):
My least favorite was eighties and
my favorite was punk pollution.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:52):
punk illusion was a banger of a show.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:54):
good.
That's cause,
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:55):
still watch, I still watch those.
I, I still watch those videosevery now
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (17:58):
do too.
That's cuz the group mergedreally well together.
We just happened to get alongreally well.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:04):
Good, good
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:05):
Oh, Left of the dial was a really
good show too.
I don't know how the musicalquality was, but we all had fun.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:11):
I think my least favorite show you did
in terms of the quality of themusic.
I don't know.
The Jack White one was really
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:24):
Oh, I really like
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:25):
That and punk ellian were the two
best.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:27):
I don't know if eighties had bad
music.
It was just right after grandmaand Grandpa passed.
So I have different emotionsassociated with that show.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:36):
Oh, that exposed you to so much, so
many different styles of musictoo, doing, going through that
program for all those years.
norah_4_10-02-2022_19303 (18:40):
didn't like the emo show, but that's
cuz that was over covid.
So I had to listen to the samesongs for like seven months and
I just got so tired of them andI just didn't want to listen to
them or play them ever again.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (18:53):
Fair enough.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Favorite shows.
I, I think the Jack White andand punk Ellucian were musically
were by far the two best handsdown.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:04):
Yeah.
I think group wise too, both ofthose shows had good people in
them
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:08):
You could have taken either one of
those, the punk ellucian one forsure.
Like you could have taken likeon the road to clubs and charged
people money to watch that.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:16):
well, so we did one song Second Wave
of Goodbye by War and Women, andyou posted that.
On Instagram or Twitter orsomething, and the band saw it
and they loved it, which issuper cool.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:29):
I think, I think Ed
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:31):
Was it Ed?
I thought it was
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (19:32):

had to stop that cuz the schoolhad broke.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:01):
It couldn't be both.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:02):
Too expensive for both
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:04):
yes, it was definitely one or the other.
And, and time too.
Like you just don't, like it wasa commitment of that.
They both are, would've beenlike, substantial commitments of
time.
And so we just, we were like,you gotta pick one.
And the guitar felt right.
So there it was.
norah_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:18):
Yeah.
I mean, I knew plenty of myfriends did horseback riding.
None of them played guitar, so.
dad_4_10-02-2022_193035 (21:25):
