I enjoy playing for my family and my favorite songs to play are from Disney movies. I had several great teachers at Orpheus and right now I am very lucky to learn from Ms. Wendy. She is always encouraging me to practice and try my best. She also chooses fun songs so our lessons are not boring. My favorite thing about Ms. Wendy is that she is always optimistic and never makes me feel embarrassed when I make a mistake. Learning piano is hard work, but it feels good to accomplish each small step." -Tessa F. ![]() Sung-Eun K. "I am delighted to nominate Sung Eun Kim as my student of the month!

Now, Sung Eun has been playing longer pieces with great technique control and beautiful sound." -Ms. Sara "It has been a great experience to learn Cello, which I like the most for its rich and deep sound, at Orpheus.

I have loved to pay guitar since I was 5 years old. I even had a few toy guitars and loved how they sounded. Then, one day I met Mr. Jesse and he became my teacher. Mr. Jesse is an amazing teacher! He's very calm and patient and makes my lessons fun. I am very lucky to have him as my guitar teacher. When I grow up I aspire to be a popular guitarist and spread joy withy my music!!" -Avyukt P. ![]() Varnika V. "I nominate my student, Varnika V., to be recognized as the Student of the Month.
