Student of the Month: December 2020

Kaleb R.

I really enjoy learning music at Orpheus. For me, learning music is like learning a special language. As part of my lessons with Mr. Jeremy and Advanced Musicianship with Ms. Skye, I really have enjoyed learning how to compose my own songs. With help from Mr. Jeremy one of my songs “Night and Day” won second place recognition in the Doss Reflections competition this year. Thank you to Mr. Jeremy for being such a great teacher!

Kaleb has been preparing diligently for the Musical Journey and the various musical projects we have been working on. He is always very prepared for our lessons and demonstrates clear signs of progress each week. Alongside Kaleb’s hard work with the guitar and his understanding of musical concepts, his personality and attitude are at the highest level. Kaleb is very eager to be the best he can be and I believe these traits will carry him far in anything that he attempts. He is a joy to have in my studio and a remarkable member of the Orpheus community!

Alex is an extremely hard-working, dedicated student who has made great progress during the time we have worked together. I am so proud of his advances in both piano and composition!  He is always well-prepared for his lessons and is always an enthusiastic participant in performance opportunities! Recently, Alex completed Musical Journey Level 2 with a beautiful CD project. Alex is a pleasure to teach and I look forward to our continued work together!

"I want to thank Mr. Benjamin for nominating me for Orpheus Academy's student of the month. I like Mr. Benjamin because he is always encouraging me. My favorite part of the piano lesson is practicing rhythms. My goal is to be able to play any song that I like. "
-Paul

"He started learning piano this year and he has demonstrated incredible discipline and curiosity towards music. He always comes prepared and sometimes even does the extra things I did not ask him to do. He is attentive and very observant in the lesson, it is always a joy to work with him."
-Mr. Benjamin
