Micah has shown great creativity and dedication through his book project. He composed every piece in the project
himself, demonstrating originality, musical imagination, and a growing understanding of composition. It has been wonderful to see his ideas come to life through music.

Anika H.

"Anika is very dedicated and always eager to learn new skills. She has made tremendous progress on guitar and always shows up prepared to get better each week. It is a joy to teach her and learn about her passions and big plans for the future!" — Mr. Andrew

​"I’m very thankful to be nominated as a student of the month. I enjoy learning to play the guitar and always look forward to my lessons with Mr. Andrew. It’s been really fun learning new songs and techniques, and I’m very grateful to have such a supportive and talented teacher. I’m excited to continue improving!" — Anika H.

Daphne A.

"Daphne has been tearing through guitar music this year. She has almost completed her third method book and first sight reading book at just 10. She decided to grow her nails out (like a pro) and because of this has an incredible free stroke tone and effortless technique. All this is because she is a consistent practicer and makes the choice every day to pursue excellence. Keep it up, Daphne!" — Mr. Stephen

"I have enjoyed learning guitar with Mr. Stephen. He always encourages me to stay motivated even when I don't want to keep going. I am excited to continue my musical journey at Orpheus and expand my knowledge on guitar. I believe my playing has improved over the years and I look forward to learning more complicated songs and techniques with Mr. Stephen." — Daphne A.

"I’m pleased to nominate Meena as a student of the month for July! Meena brings a lot of positive energy and joy to her voice lessons. She is committed to practicing at home and is eager to learn new things in every lesson. Her hard work and dedication have led to significant musical growth since she joined my studio earlier this year, including completion of the Musical Journey Level 1 program. It is a joy to be part of Meena’s pursuit of music knowledge and singing skills!" — Ms. Terri

​"I always wanted to be a singer since I was 3 years old. I like to make up songs and then I sing them. I love to practice singing every day and simply sing. I like to sing songs when I am bored because I get entertained. I like to find lyrics to songs that I sing, and whatever comes to mind I just sing it." — Meena M.
