Eliza started the Music and Art for Little Ones class this past Fall at 17 months. She was a little shy at first and hesitant to join in the activities. As the weeks progressed, she really came out of her shell! She loves to choose what to do for the hello song, and she is a very big helper when it is time to put instruments away. She even does a great job with the art projects! It has been so fun to watch her grow and develop a musical and artistic foundation as we head into the second session of Music and Art for Little Ones!
This week we have TWO students of the week! Jayce and Kaan started lessons just this past summer and have been learning nearly all the rock band instruments (vocals, piano, bass, drums and saxophone). When the Tuesday band needed singers, these boys rose to the challenge and absolutely owned the stage at Pirate’s Den this past Thursday, Jan. 20th. Jayce and Kaan have a certain excitement towards music that carries through the whole studio... not to mention the fact that they were the coolest looking rockers on stage! Keep it up Jayce and Kaan!
This week’s student is Joe! He did a fabulous job at the Christmas recital in December! He is currently working on two pieces to play from memory for the Junior Music Festival at the beginning of March. A couple of months ago, he started helping out at the studio by making the promotional flyers that you see on social media and around the studio. Great work Joe, and thank you for all your help!
Check out our latest Student of the Week, OR scroll through the list of past students who have been featured. We have a lot of talent here at the studio, and we are so proud of EACH student!
