My Students

Do not fear, The Minions are here! This outstanding group of string students love to practice and perform a wide variety of music.

These students in grades seven and eight play together in several ensembles at school.

Their favorite place in school is the music wing, but they are certainly no slouch in other areas as well! They consistently are chosen to represent the school for math fairs, History Day and robotics challenges. Their love of music brought them together to play in a chamber group and then to create an even more advanced ensemble, The Minions. The enthusiasm these students have is infectious - other students come in early to hear them practice before school begins!

My Project

With the addition of a pickup for a violin, a viola and a cello, my students will be able to experiment with more styles of music. They will be able to represent all styles of from Bach to Zeppelin. These students will show others that you can perform music, play sports, get amazing grades. They will inspire more students to become involved in school activities and push themselves to succeed and follow their hearts.

There is no better way to express the importance of music for my students than this quote.

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." - Plato Please, let my students fly.
