Student of the Month: Shane
We love our students! They inspire us, they challenge us, they make us laugh and smile. But most importantly, they are each wonderful, unique individuals getting ready to go out into the world and make amazing things happen! That’s why we are highlighting one of our amazing students every month.
This month's featured student is extra special. Shane is a graduating senior at Ketcham High School, heading off to new adventures this fall!
Though he played piano and flute in elementary school, Shane returned to piano with us in the summer of 2021. His teacher, Miguel, remarks that Shane is “thoughtful, intelligent, measured and more talented than he knows.” Shane has educated us in some awesome new video game music, and we have loved hearing his musicianship grow. Best of luck to you in college and beyond, Shane!
