Student of the Month: Alexandra
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 Alexandra!
We first met Alexandra (aka Alex) when she was just a baby, tagging along to her big brother Zac’s piano lessons. Then, she was just learning to stand. Now, she’s a charismatic, lively, and passionate young pianist herself! Alex is an excellent sight-reader, motivated to learn more and more, and has a competitive streak (particularly aimed at her brother and piano-playing cousins) that has driven, to date, a 274-day practice streak! She recently earned her half-year practice streak trophy, and is on track to achieve a year-long practice streak! Alex always has a big smile on her face and a bounce in her step, and brings infectious joy into the studio. Keep smiling, keep wearing your sparkly crown, and keep aiming high, Alex!
