Noah Benson
Music Program
Our AS Music Program Student of the Month is Noah Benson! Since returning to class, Noah has demonstrated a much higher degree of playing prowess and singing participation. On top of mastering his Bb major scale, Noah has begun to read and write the notes on a grand staff with little assistance. As we enter into February, we are certain that Noah's playing and note naming skills will continue to increase. Way to go Noah! - Dr. Fil Starostka, AS: Brass Instructor

She has excelled in the five fundamental positions of the feet and arms, displaying confidence and precision well beyond her year.
Destinnie is a great listener and quick learner, consistently demonstrating excellent focus in class.
