Students of the Month: September 2020

Aarush A.

I love music because I can control my anger. Without music I would yell and slam my door. Now, I think about the music I played that day and my anger fades. I also love music because it is fun!
-Aarush

Aarush is progressing by leaps and bounds. He reads music fast and is now into pieces by Beethoven, Schumann and Bach. He is a consistently cheerful and attentive presence in his lessons and he works diligently and enthusiastically. I am quite proud of him.

Sahaana G.

Music is beautiful and playing the piano makes me happy. I like playing songs from the Beatles!
-Sahaana

She is always excited at each piano lesson!  She has worked very hard on learning several Beatles songs this summer and deserves to be student of the month of September!  Great Job Sahaana!​

Sutirtha M.

When I was 6, I wanted to play guitar. We found Orpheus Academy and joined the guitar class. I made it through my musical journey 1 and also a concert of my music. I got my first trophy! Our family was so surprised when we saw it outside our door. My teachers are Mr. Vijay and Ms. Jessica. I have things in common with my guitar teacher, such as, we both have visited India. We also play guitar and we go to Orpheus. I have learned a lot of fun music like "Bow Wow Wow". I even learned new languages and solfege! I love music as much as playing games and food. I even made a few friends in Orpheus. When I came to my first class I knew that I will keep learning.
-Sutirtha

Since Sutirtha started lessons at Orpheus, his expressive personality and creative energy helped him quickly develop musical skills while having fun. When it came time to prepare for his first concert, he began to practice more intensely than ever before. He succeeded in approaching his guitar studies with the same focus and discipline he uses in his martial arts training, and he gave an incredible debut performance for an international audience. Bravo Sutirtha!
-Vijay

Sharanya R.

       I love to play and listen to music, as it makes me very happy. I love that Ms. Beth teaches me new songs (especially the Disney ones). I have a lot of fun playing them.
​- Sharanya

Sharanya has been a piano student at Orpheus for about one year.  She is very involved and has participated in performance classes, recitals, and Postcards for Seniors.  Sharanya practices diligently and is so excited when learning a new concept or song!  I am proud of her hard work and truly enjoy teaching such a talented young lady!

Nathaniel J.

Our son Nathaniel has improved in his guitar skill last year. Mr Jeremy is a great teacher and has connected with Nathaniel in special way. His teaching skills and methods are efficient
-Nathaniel's Parents

Nathaniel has continued to show his work ethic and enthusiasm in every lesson through his preparation and musical personality.  He takes great attention to detail in the clarity and musicality of his pieces alongside demonstrating a high level of technique and tone. The progress that he continually makes every week demonstrates his perseverance and love for the guitar. Nathaniel’s curiosity and strive for excellence will bring him far in anything that he tries and I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with him.
