February Student of the Month

Congratulations, Alec, Student of the Month for February!

A quick, patient learner, Alec has recently begun taking piano lessons. He mastered “Ten Second Song” learning notes “C” and “G" on the staff at his very first lesson! What’s more, he taught his mom the song as well!

Alec has also begun to learn one of his favorite songs, “Me Without You” by TobyMac and has an extraordinary gift for playing duets. An excelling 5^th grader, avid soccer player, and gifted musician, it’s so exciting to see Alec learning more and more each week and diligently practicing to utilize his God given talents!

Keep up the wonderful work, Alec!

Musical Happenings

Truly gifted with music, Mr. Vince began learning to play the piano when he was just eight years old. It’s certainly in his heritage….His aunt recently performed in an opera in New York City at age 82! Although Mr. Vince’s strength in music is playing by ear, he recently embraced the challenge of learning to read notes on the staff. His strategy—committed sight reading practice each week and study of note reading flashcards which, in his words, “takes with him EVERYWHERE” combined with a passion to grow his love and talents for music. Mr. Vince considers music a true blessing from God and graciously shares his musical talents with others at weddings as well as the Senior Citizens of Indian Land meetings. A “walking encyclopedia” of opera and contemporary composers, Mr. Vince's favorite pieces are Clair de Lune and Moonlight Sonata, both of which he is currently practicing to master. An inspiration to many, Mr. Vince is a wonderful testimony of devoted practice flowing into the utilization of using his God-given musical talents to bless others!

“Sing to Him a new song: Play skillfully, and shout for joy.”  ~Psalm 33:3
