Students Of The Month- May 2012
Whalter
Briggs
Whalter has taken to the fiddle as if it is something he has always
played. He is constantly challenging himself to play harder material and loves
to perform in front of his family, friends and even strangers he meets along
the way. I'm excited to see where his studies will take him, and expect that he
will go far with his fiddle! Nice work Whalter!

to teach him.

has been taking lessons with me since June of 2011 and has made some excellent
progress in that short period of time.
She is always in a good mood and practices the material every week. That is why she is excelling on the
