October 2025 Students of the Month

Yauhenia L.

"Yauhenia is not only working on singing skills, she is also learning English! While focusing on pronunciation and tuneful singing, she has been courageous enough to perform in the Saturday Adult Impromptu. I am so very proud of her! Yauhenia has been an absolute joy to guide in her musical journey and she definitely deserves to be a Student of the Month!" — Ms. Deborah

​"Thank you so much for the nomination! I’m especially grateful to Ms. Deborah for her professionalism and patience—she works twice as hard with me, helping with both vocal technique and English pronunciation. Thank you for gently encouraging me to try performing in public; it’s always been my biggest fear, and your faith and support make it possible. I’m excited to keep setting new goals and growing at Orpheus." — Yauhenia L.

Michelle H.

"Michelle and I have been working together for over almost a year, and during that time she has really grown as a singer and musician. In one Adult Impromptu she sang a musical theater piece, followed by a heavy metal song, and she did them both beautifully! It is so fascinating to me to see the process she undergoes to choose a song, interpret it in her own style, and make it completely her own. In addition to singing on her own, she has collaborated with many other students, spending time rehearsing with them outside of her lesson time, working carefully on harmony and style. It has been such a joy for me to be part of her journey, and watch her gaining confidence and having fun while she sings." — Ms. Rebecca

​"Thank you, I feel so honored for being nominated. Getting to learn and develop as a musician alongside fellow students and Ms. Rebecca has been a very rewarding journey. I look forward to continuing to explore my voice both technically and creatively—so I can sing healthily for years to come and paint expressive pictures through music." — Michelle H.

Isha V.

"Isha has been showing great improvement in her music studies! She has been dedicated and consistent, always coming to lessons well prepared with her assignments thoughtfully done. I’m proud of the progress she’s made and look forward to continuing this wonderful musical journey together!" — Mr. Daniel

​"Isha, as a toddler used to often sing and attempt to play some nursery rhymes on her toy piano on her own. We observed her interest growing further into the world of music as she became 5 years old and finally decided to start the formal musical journey at Orpheus Academy of Music, Cedar Park. We are so happy to see our girl enjoying learning what she loves and making so much progress since then through these last couple of years. She looks forward to her music lessons with Mr. Daniel every week, and we are so proud of her as well as so grateful to Mr. Daniel and everyone at Orpheus Academy. Thank you very much." — Isha’s parents

Pranav B.

"Over the last year, I have seen Pranav show significant progress in his musicality and skills! It’s always a joy to work with him each lesson, and he brings a high level of curiosity and attention to detail to his playing. I was especially impressed with his level of dedication to learning more advanced repertoire to pass his Musical Journey level three test in the spring semester. I can’t wait to see the accomplishments that he will achieve during his time at Orpheus, and I look forward to working with him another year!" — Ms. Cicely

"​Orpheus Academy is Pranav's very first music school, and he has become a much more confident and expressive player during his time here. Ms. Cicely has always been an amazing supporter of Pranav and has challenged him to become the best version of himself. He is always motivated to practice and playing the piano has been a favorite pastime of his. Pranav is so thankful for the nomination by Ms. Cicely and is looking forward to having more fun at Orpheus Academy!" — Pranav’s parents
