Each month Dr. Olga Rua chooses a student who is best well-prepared for the lessons of that month to be “Student of the Month.”
For the month of September Michelle Barker is the students of the month. Michelle is an adult student who decided to start piano lessons this Summer. She is very dedicated and finds time to practice in her busy life. In her own words: “I just love the sound of the piano, so I decided to take this year to learn how to play the piano.”
Congratulations Michelle for all your effort and for your love of piano!!
