November Students of the Month

Ezhil A.

"I nominate Ezhil A. as student of the month. Ezhil started studying piano last summer and it is impressive to see her dedication, discipline, and passion for practicing piano. Recently, Ezhil played at a piano recital and performance class and she was very excited about it. Her love for music can be observed since she enjoys playing her favorites songs at the keyboard. It is really rewarding to have students like Ezhil, who loves to practice piano and have fun!"
 - Mr. Leonardo

"We are proud to receive the message on Ezhil getting selected as Student of the month."

Meryem T.

"Meryem is an energetic, imaginative, and motivated student. She is always having fun on playing the violin and always have a lot of ideas about music. She only studied with me for about 7 months, and I am so proud of the progress she is making. She also did a great job playing with the piano in the Summer Showcase recital. I also want to thank Mr. Alphan who always come to the lesson with Meryem, being a tremendous support and also a fun learning partner for her. I hope you enjoy music to be a big part of your life and I can't wait to keep supporting you on this musical journey."
 - Mr. Michael

"I love music! Playing my violin makes me so, so happy. It's like magic! I get super excited about my music classes too. They're like the best thing ever!"

Myrah K.

"It's difficult for me to choose a student of the month because many of my students have been doing an amazing job! I choose Myrah K. as my student of the month. With the help of her uncle, Myrah has been developing beautifully in her piano playing and musicianship. I always enjoy our musical interaction during our lessons through singing, playing the piano and playing at the stepbells. Keep up the good work Myrah!"
 - Mr. Mauricio 

"I am super happy to be the student of the month! My teacher, Mr. Mauricio, is very nice. I really love playing the piano! My uncle showed me how before I even started taking classes. One of the tunes I like to play is 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' and I performed it at the halloween spooktacular concert this year. I didn't start formal piano lessons until I was 7. I also have fun playing different instruments like step bells and the grand piano. I want to keep playing piano because making music is fun, interesting and very satisfying. One day, I hope I can play pieces like 'The Flight of the Bumblebee,' the 'Harry Potter' theme music, big symphonies, and a fun song called 'El Grillo.' I can't wait to learn more!"

​Marc Olivier M.

"In the last several months, Marc Olivier has doubled down on his commitment to the guitar, and it shows. He worked really hard to prepare a new, challenging piece (Labyrinth by Chad Ibison) for his Musical Journey Level 4 concert, and blew me away with high quality practice. He auditioned for the Austin Classical Guitar Youth Camerata, a city-wide guitar orchestra, and has become a strong leader in that group. He has some exciting performances coming up, including a collaboration with Grammy-Nominated composer Reena Esmail, a concert at the AISD Performing Arts Center and a recording at KMFA in February! Way to go, Marc Olivier!"
 - Mr. Stephen

"It feels great to be nominated for student of the month. All of the practicing finally paid off."
