March Students of the Month

Akshar V.

"Akshar is an incredibly hard-working and enthusiastic student. He is a great listener and learner, and he pushes himself constantly to be at a higher level. He is a member of the Orpheus Guitar Quartet and is preparing for his first competition. I am very proud of him."
- Mr. Andrew

​"I really enjoy learning new pieces and performing them. Mr. Andrew always gives me really helpful advice on how to improve on playing my pieces. He has helped me get better at playing guitar a lot."

Jay L.

“Since the beginning, teaching Jay has been wonderful! She always comes in excited about her lesson, cracks a couple of jokes, and then she starts playing whatever we’ve been working on. Even though she’s very talented, I believe her steady progress is due to her being a responsible practicer, attending her musicianship classes, and having a supportive family. Above all, I deeply admire the pure love and wholesome joy she feels for music. Can’t wait to see what’s ahead for her!“
- Ms. Maria

​“Hello I’m Jay, I’m 9 years old and I play violin. When I first started I was pretty shy and didn’t know what to expect. When I started to get used to my teachers I did violin way better. I’m so happy that Ms. Maria picked me for student of the month! And I’m so thankful I have amazing teachers.”

Maiya R.

"I'm thrilled to announce Maiya as my piano Student of the Month. In a recent piano master class on January 20th, Maiya performed a captivating rendition of a Burgmüller etude that truly impressed us all. Her playing was not only technically proficient but also filled with warmth, colors, and emotion. Maiya consistently approaches her lessons with dedication and preparation, always striving to improve her skills. Her musical expression is vibrant and heartfelt, demonstrating her deep connection to the music she plays. Maiya, I'm excited to see how you continue to grow and flourish on your musical journey!"
- Ms. Yaci

"I would like to thank Ms. Yaci for nominating me as a student of the month. I like the music pieces she chooses for me because they challenge me in many ways. This nomination means a lot to me and I appreciate all her guidance."

Fiona O.

“I am delighted to nominate Fiona for Student of the Month. Every lesson with Fiona flies by because she is actively engaged in the learning process. Over the past year that I have known her, she has undergone a significant transformation both as a piano player and as a person. I am proud to be a part of Fiona's musical journey and to have helped her grow.“
​- Ms. Margarita

“In the time that I’ve been at Orpheus, I have learned so much about music theory, sight reading, and encouraging myself to be the best musician I can be. Ms. Margarita has been so supportive through it all, whether I’m struggling with a piece of music, or I’ve just performed one, she’s always encouraging me to go farther than I think I can. I’m so grateful to have her as a teacher.”
