The Royals, The Fringe and The 36ers…
1
It’s been little while between Informers
and no wonder because we’ve been
very busy bringing the inspiration!
We keep you updated regularly on
Facebook so keep an eye on it to see
what’s happening. It’s an important
part of the ETI Community so get on if
you haven’t already. We’re also on
LinkedIn, Pintrest, Instagram, Google+
and Twitter. We have social media
covered so find us and stay in touch.
This informer is full of the great things
we’ve done over the last month or two.
We had our first Fringe Show, we met
the Royal Couple on their trip to
Australia, we hung out with 9 times
MVP for the 36ers Mark Davis and
2
created inspiration all over the place.
But before going on I want to remind
you to buy your tickets for the Mid Year
Concert – only $5 and super great value.
SilverMember holder get a family pack
for cheaper. The concert is on the 10
July and will be bigger and better than
last year, and last year was pretty huge.
You can expect a special guest, but I’m
not telling you who it is because that
would ruin the surprise. And as you
have come to understand we do
everything with a difference!
At the concert we’ll be raising money to
send our Educators to the Hutt Street
Centre to provide education to their
clients.

Hutt Street Centre assists Adelaide’s
homeless people to find health,
wellbeing, shelter, education and
employment. They are inspirations!
Please bring your spare change and
help us give something to those who
need it most.
Rock on!
CEO and Founder, Pete Barter

ETI Community Updates
Ellis’ New Band!
One of our long time students Ellis Suridge has recently joined a band as their drummer. The band called “Spinal Rose” play rock and will be seen at pubs and clubs across SA. Ellis is a wonderful drummer and has worked hard having lessons with Pete since he was 12 years only. We are super proud of Ellis for taking the next step in his learning journey – putting the learning into practice. We know he will continue to grow and grow and become one of Adelaide’s go to drummers!
Welcome to our ETI Mascot

ETI were very fortunate to be chosen to help welcome the Royal Couple to Playford Council recently. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, otherwise known as “Will and Kate” came to the North Sound System as part of their tour of Australia. Unfortunately the little cutie future King George wasn’t with them, but it was a thrill to have them visit the Northern Suburbs. We were asked to select 3 students to perform for the Royals. Given the amount of amazing students that we had to choose from our job was difficult. We shortlisted and shortlisted and finally decided that Corey Clarke, Laurissa Boyle and Jessica Johnson were the ones to represent ETI. Corey is currently studying music at Adelaide University and has made it his life pursuit after a number of years as a student at ETI. Laurissa is a passionate young lady and has made it clear
2
that her life will be filled with music. Jessica gives her all in all of her lessons and is demonstrating a significant commitment to her craft. All of these students are regulars at the ETI extracurricular events and dedicate their hearts and souls to their craft. They will be heard on the radio and in concert one day. The three of them have amazing support from their families and even though some are doing it tough they still manage to find the time, energy and money to invest in their children’s dreams. I think one of the things that creates the ETI difference is in the parents that ETI students have. I’m always touched and thrilled at the support they give their kids, all of our students. We are thrilled that we were able to be part of the Royal Visit and provide this unique and once in a life time opportunity to Corey, Laurissa and Jessica.
“And we’ll never be Royals…roooyaaals!”
Making Life Easy for You!
We have many payment options to make your life easy.

2. Pay by direct debit weekly term by term (eg: $35 pw).
3. 12 month direct debit payment plan (eg: $25-27 per week)
Our new 12 month payment plan allows you to balance your finances easier with a smaller weekly payment. Payments continue through the school holidays when lessons cease. Let us take the hassle out of payments and set up an annual payment plan today.

Silver Card Members Family Fun Day March 29 was when the musician’s hit the court and had a blast. It was ETI’s inaugural Family Fun Day and what a fabulous day we had. It was unfortunate that a few of our Silvers couldn't be there. We missed you and we'll see you next time. And a huge thanks to our friends at Novatech Creative Event Technology for lending us their corporate suite and to awesome and amazing Mark Davis (Mr 36ers!!) for coming down and being so generous with his time and providing his special branding of inspiration to our ETI community. Fun was had by all and even a quick game on the 36ers home court! That's the ETI difference. Our next Silver Member’s Family Day is scheduled for 15 June 2014. Put it in the diary and if you haven’t upgraded to Silver yet contact ETI management or get online. You don’t want to miss out on the fun!
ETI @ the Fringe
A little while ago now, but if you missed it there are all the photos online from the show. What an amazing and unique experience from Joe Toranto, an amazing young drummer from Melbourne, Pete Drummond, an inspiration and “Dragon’s” long time drummer and Darryn Farrugia who is one of Australia’s go to drummers for artists touring such as BB King, Tom Jones, Tina Arena and Human Nature, just to name a few. Who else would put three amazing and internationally known drummers on one stage? Just ETI, that’s who. Make sure you keep an eye on Facebook for up coming events.

An Inspiring Story from ‘The HIVE’
ETI creates inspiration every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the HIVE at Modbury. Singing, guitar, bass, piano and drum lessons are currently offered.
Sometimes through no fault of their own students are unable to make their scheduled lesson. Our newest inspiration provider Dallas and our CEO Pete both had students ring them unable to make their lesson’s last Tuesday evening. They could have left and went home, but not these two. They have inspiration bubbling over so they both went out into the common area to talk with some of the other HIVE participants and they met 13 year old Sophie who is a poet.
Dallas and Pete spoke to her and told her that they create musicians at the Hive that’s why they were there. Sophie responded that she would love to turn her poetry into music but didn’t know how. Pete told her they could help and got her to read her poem. Dallas asked her what kind of musician she wanted to become and got onto the piano and created a melody for the poem. After an hour Sophie and Dallas had worked out the melody and rhythm of the song. Sophie has a lovely voice also and sang her newly created poem/song accompanied by Dallas.
The song is amazing. A ballad about ‘being young and having a voice that needs to be heard’. Sophie didn’t know that afternoon that she would walk out of the HIVE as a songwriter, but she did. There is a Buddhist saying that says “When the student is ready, the right teacher will appear.” Was it destiny or a happy coincidence that Dallas and Pete had a spare hour to help Sophie on the road to her dream?
