Let’s get to know DORIAN!
Dorian!
Dorian not only comes to every class focused and prepared, he also makes a point to go to the practice sessions, which has really helped him progress even more with his playing. Also, a little tidbit about Dorian ... he speaks 5 languages! English, Tagalog, German, Swiss German (he's currently learning French) and MUSIC!!! WOAAAAHH!!! Music is a whole language all on its own so to my students who only speak English, guess what, you're bi-lingual too! You speak English and Music!

High Achievers!
Faye and Parnika are two of my girls who go above and beyond what is taught to them. They always learn more songs on their own, they love creating their own songs and also improvising! It’s a blast watching them grow in their love for music and playing every week!
Parnika is currently applying for the Gifted and Talented Education program (GATE) at her school and Faye just finished performing at her church’s fundraiser talent show!
Congrats to you both!

Angela & John!
John and Angela are two of the most supportive parents I know. They are always present at every class, helping them set up for their online class and always ready to take notes. I love how encouraging they are to Addie and Sloane and seeing these kids grow up into such wonderful girls are a blessing to me. I'm so thankful for parents like John and Angela who help make online lessons so easy.
