February 2022 Students of the Month

Vivaan V. 

We are all so happy and excited after hearing this news. This milestone achievement for Vivaan couldn’t have been possible without the help and guidance from his teacher Mr. Benjamin. He’s takes personal interest in his students and is always proactively working with them to bring out the best in them. He’s an amazing teacher and Vivaan is lucky to have him. A big thank you to Mr. Benjamin!

Vivaan has been working really hard the whole year. He just completed his home concert, in which he played 12 pieces all memorized. He has also improved a lot in listening, doing the contour, and recognizing the solfege in his Kodaly training. It is mainly his dedication, discipline, and preparation week after week which impresses me the most. For that reason, I think Vivaan deserves to be the student of the month.

Barrett S. 

I love music because it's fun to learn new songs and play them for my mommy and daddy.
-Barrett

I would like to nominate Barrett for student of the month. Barrett is one of my most hardworking students, and it shows in the progress he's made in such a short period of time. Barrett is excited about guitar, excited about practicing, and excited to share his music with others. In fact, we learned a pretty challenging piece before Winter Break and not only did Barrett crush it in the lesson, he also said "I can't wait to play this for my mom when I get home". Because of all this hard work, Barrett just completed his Musical Journey Level 1 Test (in less than a year!), and we are preparing to give a home concert this Spring. I'm really looking forward to that, and for all the great music we'll make together in the future. Nice job Barrett!

Jonah K. 

Music brings out the joy in me.

I would like to nominate Jonah for student of the month! I'm very proud of Jonah's hard work and his resilience in every new challenge he encounters. His listening skills have improved so much and it's so wonderful to see how his attention to detail develops with every new piece we work on. He is always open to performances or trying new approaches when difficulties arise, and he always leaves a smile on my face after every lesson! I can't wait to see how he keeps growing musically!
