September 2022 Students of the Month

Dean G. 

I love music so much because I have always loved listening to music. I can’t wait to be able to play and sing music at the same time.
- Dean

Dean has been a joy since his very first lesson and his enthusiasm for piano and music in general has continued to grow since then! Dean recently completed his Musical Journey project for level 1 and is now moving through even more complicated repertoire after less than a year of lessons! He always comes prepared for his lessons, listens attentively and is so eager to share his music with others; I'm very proud of all his hard work and can't wait to continue seeing his musical growth!

Vanessa K. 

I love playing the acoustic piano because it is easier to play legato. It sounds really beautiful. I always play at the guitar center to share my music so people can listen to me play what I have learned. 
- Vanessa

Vanessa has been studying piano since Fall of 2019. I enjoy working with her every week! Not only does she accomplish her practice goals every week, but she also learns additional songs on her own. Vanessa completed the Musical Journey levels 1 and 2 and is preparing for her level 3 final project this semester. She also loves to play duets with her Mom and they performed in one of the friendship concerts. I know that music will continue to be a big part of Vanessa's life!

Levi G. 

I love making music, especially playing duets with Dr. Jae-Eun or my older brother, or making up my own songs. 
- Levi

Levi started his first piano lesson a year ago. The entire first semester his lessons were virtual only. Although virtual learning can be a lot more challenging for younger students, Levi managed everything very well. He has shown huge passion about his piano lessons, he performed in Theo’s practice a thon and participated in fundraising with his brother Micah, who is also studying piano with me. Also Levi did his first duet performance with Micah in the Spring 2022 Friendship Concert. He passed Musical Journey Level 1 Test and finished his first in person Home concert June 25 and achieved his first Trophy. He performed 7 songs with one original composition, Moon day groove. 
 
Levi loves music and he is always eager to learn more and try new things. Can’t wait to see his next Musical Journey.
