Student of the Month: Tommy
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.
Meet this month’s featured student: Tommy
Tommy began piano lessons in October, 2019 and added vocal studies the following fall. For only two years of formal musical study, he already has a strong personal style and artistic maturity. He always comes to his lessons with boundless enthusiasm, great energy, and an infectious sense of humor. In piano lessons, he’s particularly drawn to classical pieces, and in voice lessons he brings his own flair to songs that he enjoys listening to and singing with his family. When he’s a famous singer-songwriter someday we hope he remembers us and gives us back-stage passes!
