Also look forward to reading Part 2 coming out this month on Monday, May 14th! Student of the month!Meet Kenneth!  Kenneth studies with Ms. Emily. He loves playing classical music, especially Clementi sonatinas and Beethoven's 1st and 3rd movements of "Moonlight Sonata". He's hard working and learns quickly. He regularly practices all the major scales with arpeggios and cadence chords. They just started learning minor scales this past month! Kenneth is a freshman at Jones College Prep right here in South Loop. Outside of piano he frequently participates in math competitions across the city and state! We're excited to see what Kenneth learns next. He's always a joy to watch in performance. Be sure to catch him playing at our upcoming piano recital on Saturday, June 9th! Bravo Kenneth!
