December 2022 Students of the Month

Kuri K. 

I love music because I get to play with my feelings and dance with the beats. I have amazing teachers named Ms. Gloria and Ms. Sara. I like to play music for everybody to listen and feel like a star on show. I am happy when I play music.
- Kuri

I appreciate so much all the bright, focused, and sweet energy Kuri brings into her violin lessons. She also always practices and comes ready to do her best. Kuri's violin playing continues to grow, and her sound and intonation become more beautiful every week. I am so proud of all her hard work for her Musical Journey test preparation, and I look forward to her upcoming project!  Keep up the great work, Kuri!

I love singing! Ms. Chelsea is so nice.  It’s my favorite thing to do every week. 
- Sophia

Although we've only been working together for a short time, Sophia has already accomplished so much. From flying through ATS Book 1 and taking the stage at performance classes and her first Orpheus recital, Sophia's hard work and positive attitude have helped her to already hit many milestones on her musical journey. I so appreciate your openness to trying new things, diligent home practice, and attentiveness in the lessons. Thank you for sharing your voice with the Orpheus community!

Sofia S. 

I love music because it is so relaxing and after a very tiring day the best thing to do is sit down and play different types of songs and scales. It just blows all of your worries away. I learned all different types of songs because my teacher helped me on achieving my goals, and now I get to play a variety of songs.

I would like to nominate Sofia for the student of the month. Sofia started her lessons about 11 months ago. She is a hard-working and motivated student who practices all of the goals that we set. During our lessons, she consistently evaluates and analyzes what went well and what could improve in her playing.

One highlight this semester is that she had the opportunity to perform a piece for the world-renowned guitarist Berta Rojas in September. She aced her performance for Ms. Rojas! The next goal that Sofia is excited about is her upcoming musical journey exam this November.

Congratulations on Sofia's excellent work this year!
- Mr. Johnny
