  Sakiko Noda has been taking violin lessons from Tamara for about one year.  She currently attends Illahee Elementary school as a 4th grader.  In addition to violin, Sakiko also enjoys playing the piano.
 
Sakiko’s favorite song to play is Minuet 1 by Bach.  She enjoys taking lessons from Tamara because she is so kind and teaches her a lot of things.  Sakiko loves playing the violin because it sounds pretty.
 
Tamara chose Sakiko as the student of the month because she is a wonderful student who is kind and eager to learn.  Sakiko is a hard worker, talented and masters new skills and songs quickly.  Sakiko takes on new challenges with joy and excitement.  She is a joy to teach!
 

Nick O’Donnell and Keith Abbott taught the Winter Garage Band class that ended last week.  It was comprised of guitarists, drummers, bassists and vocalists.  They performed classics such as Wild Thing, Great Balls of Fire, Time is on my Side, Born to Be Wild, Day Tripper and Miss You in front a packed house!  Here are some pictures of the event:
