Stella’s story:
Hi, my name is Stella. I play the piano and when I play the piano I feel like I am in my own world. It also takes me away from TV.
I was 8 when I started. To be honest, it opened a new door for me. I liked it right away.
It’s fun to play with others. You can make new friends. In my class there are only two other kids and I know them well. We’ve been playing together since I was 8! And playing together is really good because it teaches you cooperation.
I like all kinds of music and I learn about different styles of music in class. We get to make up our own music, too.
Miss Nancy is a really, really nice teacher. She actually helps you. She doesn’t give you all the answers. She gives you clues and encourages you to find out the answer on your own.
At first it’s hard, but when you practice, practice, practice it gets easier and you know the music!
Congrats and thanks, Stella, for being our “Student of the Week!”
