September Students of the Month!

Tessa F.
"Tessa has been my student for about 2 years. During this time she has been working hard to improve her piano skills! She enjoys playing Disney music, Christmas carols and likes playing familiar tunes by ear. Tessa is an awesome ensemble player, she plays in the Friendship concert every year with her friend, Abby. Tessa is also a wonderful singer, you can always find her performing in one of the  musicals with the KidsActing Studio. Congratulations, Tessa on all your achievements!!!"
-Ms. Wendy

​"Hi, my name is Tessa and I have been playing the piano since I was 7.  I enjoy playing for my family and my favorite songs to play are from Disney movies. I had several great teachers at Orpheus and right now I am very lucky to learn from Ms. Wendy. She is always encouraging me to practice and try my best. She also chooses fun songs so our lessons are not boring. My favorite thing about Ms. Wendy is that she is always optimistic and never makes me feel embarrassed when I make a mistake. Learning piano is hard work, but it feels good to accomplish each small step."

Sung-Eun K.
"I am delighted to nominate Sung Eun Kim as my student of the month! She is always such a joy to teach. I am proud and happy for her progress. I still remember our first cello lessons, a couple of years back, when we would discuss the very basics. Now, Sung Eun has been playing longer pieces with great technique control and beautiful sound."
-Ms. Sara

"It has been a great experience to learn Cello, which I like the most for its rich and deep sound, at Orpheus. I am so grateful and lucky to meet Ms.Sara as my musical mentor. Learning and playing the Cello enriched my emotional comfort during my busy everyday life."

"I am very glad to be chosen as the student of the month. Thank you! I have loved to pay guitar since I was 5 years old. I even had a few toy guitars and loved how they sounded. Then, one day I met Mr. Jesse and he became my teacher. Mr. Jesse is an amazing teacher! He's very calm and patient and makes my lessons fun. I am very lucky to have him as my guitar teacher. When I grow up I aspire to be a popular guitarist and spread joy withy my music!!"
