February 2023 Students of the Month

Cassius W.

I love playing guitar. My teacher, Mr. Stephen, is amazing. He inspires me to learn more challenging music.
- Cassius W.

Cassius has made the commitment to becoming a high level guitar player by upping his practice time and frequency BIG TIME. He makes improvements every week and comes to the lessons with passion and curiosity. He recently gave a great performance at the Friendship concert and is about to start work on his Musical Journey Level 4 project, an album! Keep up the great work, Cassius.

Noah G.

I have been playing piano for five years now. I like learning how to play songs that I love listening to. I enjoy my lessons with Ms. Joyce. She is a nice and fun/funny teacher and makes me a better piano player. I'm thankful that Ms. Joyce nominated me.
- Noah G.

Noah enjoys music and loves to play the piano.  Music to him are colorful stories.  Often he'd come to his lesson with different versions to the same piece.  One as printed in the music, others with his own twists to make the piece more colorful and realize his imagination of the piece better.  It doesn't turn out perfectly every time, but it was fun for both Noah and I to explore different possibilities in music and sound.
- Ms. Joyce

Kuri K.

Thanks, Ms. Gloria chose me! I love when Ms. Gloria says we do something new and try dancing for the song. I feel awesome when I walk into the Ms. Gloria’s room.
- Kuri K.

Kuri has been a delight to teach and get to know since day 1! She always comes more than prepared to her lessons and is eager to learn and master new concepts and pieces. Her sweet character and determination are always inspiring and touching, and I’m so proud of how much she has and continues to grow as a musician!
- Ms. Gloria

Sofia M.

I love piano because I enjoy to  learn new songs and figure out the notes. Piano and music make me feel happy and they cheer me up. My teacher, Ms. Humay, is a very good teacher and when I’m with her I learn new things all the time.
- Sofia M.

I am happy to nominate Sofia Mirzashvili for the student of the month. She is a hard-working student and at the same time is an excellent musician. Her technique and musicianship is growing a lot. She achieved great results in the MJ test. I feel proud of you, keep up the good work, Sofia!
