Student of the Month: Dori
Clowning around in Kindermusik
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. That’s why we are highlighting one of our amazing students every month.
This month's featured student is Dori!
Dori first joined our studio community as a mom, joining in Kindermusik classes with her son. She always brought tons of infectious enthusiasm and love of music to class, and soon began piano lessons of her own. Dori is the first to admit that finding the time to dedicate to piano is tough, and that learning a new instrument as an adult has been incredibly rewarding, too. We all love and celebrate hearing her improve week after week. Her dedication and love of music is an inspiration - and these are traits her son Josh has inherited as he’s begun piano lessons of his own, too!
