January Students of the Month

Egan M.

“I have been teaching Egan for nearly a year now, but he has been a student at Orpheus for several years now.  Egan is a reliable student and he is a highly engaged learner.  He is always on-time and prepared for his lessons, but what's great is he always has very interesting observations on the songs we are learning, sometimes even giving me historical facts that are relevant to the piece.  I have also heard that he is a very effective participant in his Advanced Musicianship class.  He has a very unique learning style, great sense of humor, and remarkable dedication to his goals.”
- Mr. Mike

​“Thank you for recognizing Egan as student of the month! He has always been a naturally musical person, dancing and singing before he took his first steps. Egan constantly hums his assigned music and creates new songs to accompany his other interests. The Orpheus method pairs perfectly with the way he hears the world, and piano provides an outlet for the sounds in his mind.” - Egan’s Mother

Navin A.

“Navin has truly earned the title Student of the Month through his remarkable commitment and achievements in learning guitar. His dedication and courage as he took the stage and participated in three recitals impressed both peers and instructors with his guitar progress.  Beyond the classroom, Navin's determination is evident as he diligently prepares for an upcoming competition, showcasing his ambition to reach new heights in his guitar journey. His passion, hard work, and notable accomplishments make him a standout candidate for the Student of the Month recognition.”
​- Mr. Nikola

​“I'm super excited and proud to be the student of the month! Playing the guitar is awesome, especially since Mr. Nikola is teaching me. He's so into music and teaching that it's making my guitar skills way cooler!”
- Navin A.

Charlotte C.

“I would like to nominate Charlotte as my student of the month. This 5-year-old girl is remarkably responsible, displaying a level of discipline beyond her years. Her rapid learning and patience make her a brilliant student. Each Saturday, she returns having completed tasks with noticeable improvement. Whether she's showcasing her musical talent on the guitar or demonstrating fast improvement in her listening and writing skills, whenever she receives compliments, the shy smile on her face leaves a lasting impression on me. Thanks to the parents’ continued support towards her education”
- Ms. Mengya

​“Charlotte had been asking to learn guitar since she was 4. We are so glad to have found Ms Mengya and Orpheus. She now asks to practice every day and enjoys putting a tick mark on the practice book and teaches mommy how to play. “
​- Charlotte’s Father

Sadie M.

“Sadie always comes ready to learn, takes meticulous notes, and makes herself aware of any tools she can use to build her technique and apply them to her pieces. I am always impressed with Sadie’s dedication to her other endeavors, such as dance and theatre. From the very first lesson she has arrived with pencil and notebook in hand, has had an exceptional attitude, and has modeled a stellar work ethic. Her joy and sweet humor are contagious, and she is simply a delight to teach!”
- Ms. Anitra

​“I am delighted to receive this award. I value learning new techniques that help me throughout different situations. I am incredibly appreciative for Ms. Anitra because of her teaching ability and supportive environment. I am glad to have the privilege to be able to work with Ms. Anitra and the chance to expand my knowledge of singing.”
