When I first met Susie, she is one of the most sincere and generous children I have ever encountered. During lessons, she demonstrates proficiency, as if she has been playing the piano for over one year. She eagerly requests to play more challenging pieces. While I am delighted by her desire to play more difficult pieces, it requires time, practice and persistence to attain that level. As with any new student, one challenge of playing the piano is learning to read the notes on the grand staff and locating them on the piano keys. To assist her, I have been able to use various methods to modify various pieces to suit her skill level.
Since starting piano lessons, Susie has made remarkable progress. She is enthusiastic about piano lessons and playing, which has encouraged her family and friends to take up the instrument as well. Her brother, a school friend, and two family friends have all begun playing the piano. When Susie is passionate about something, it is evident to everyone.
I am thoroughly impressed by her enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, which makes my job more enjoyable and interesting. I look forward to teaching her and watching her grow as a musician and into a young lady. So congratulations Susie, my April Student of the Month!

What does it mean to be student of the month to me?
Becoming Miss Deb’s music student of the month would make me feel proud! I would feel like the happiest person in the world! It will also show me that all of my practice time was worth it!
