Kent S.

"Kent always comes prepared to his lessons, even having a busy high school schedule. Kent is always open to learn different music and new styles. He is also open to challenges. I hope piano music will always be a part of his life." - Mr. Mauricio

"I am so thankful for the skills and experiences I’ve gained through my time at Orpheus. I hope music continues to be a part of my life as a graduate and enter university!" - Kent S.

Arielle R.

“Choosing just one student for Student of the Month is challenging, but I would like to nominate Arielle Rosenberg. She is dedicated to her musical journey, consistently showing enthusiasm and a strong work ethic. Over the past year, Arielle has made remarkable progress, mastering various techniques and theory concepts, all within our lesson time. I enjoy working with her and watching her passion and commitment shine through. A big thank you to her parents for their invaluable support as well.” - Ms. Mengya

"I am so proud to be the student of the month. Working with Ms. Mengya has challenged me in ways I never thought were possible and made me so much better at the guitar from scales to new pieces of music. I love learning music because I can express myself without saying a word!" - Arielle R.

Siddarth P.

"Siddarth is Student of the Month for his exceptional dedication to guitar and performing. He has excelled in practicing and performing at three concerts, showcasing his talent and hard work. Additionally, he is rigorously preparing for an important musicianship test and will be performing alongside his brother at the upcoming Friendship Concert. His commitment and collaborative spirit truly set him apart and is why he should be a Student of the month." - Mr. Nikola

"Hi, I'm Siddarth. I'm 12 years old. I play guitar and am proud to be a student at the Orpheus Academy of Music. I started learning guitar last October, so it's been about a year now. I’ve had plenty of opportunities to perform and showcase my skills at concerts and recitals, which I really enjoy. Whenever I have time, I practice and work on new songs, as well as improve the ones I learn in class. My teacher, Mr Nikola, is very patient and encouraging and has helped me every step of the way on my guitar journey, and there is still more to go. He makes learning an instrument feel fun and easy. I can't believe how much I've learned in what feels like such a short time!" - Siddarth P.

Avnee G.

"I would like to nominate Avnee Gadgil as my piano student of the month. She is a delightful student! Avnee is always disciplined and very enthusiastic about learning music. Her piano performance is improving day by day and I think she has a unique potential for success as a pianist." - Mr. Leonardo

"Avnee is a capable and self-assured young girl. She has a gentle spirit and an innate gift for diverse artistic expressions. Her evolving talent as a pianist has been nothing short of thrilling. We are blessed to have you as our daughter!!" - Avnee's parents
