Lauren Skinner enrolled in Opus 119 The School of Music 3 years ago, starting with “Music in Me” with Mrs. Christine and has flourished under the guidance of teacher Miss Charlene for over 2 years. Lauren possesses a true passion for music, and loves composing her own songs on the piano. She plays the piano every single day, sometimes several times (without being asked to do so). Her parents wake up to hearing beautiful medleys on the piano, some of which are assigned pieces from Opus 119 and some of which she has composed. Because of Opus 119 and their fabulous instructors, Lauren has acquired many qualities to help her succeed such as grit/ strong work ethic, patience, responsibility and a keen attention to detail. These qualities have translated into the classroom as well— she is 2 grade levels ahead in mathematics and reading. Additionally, she is a good friend and always kind to others. We couldn’t be more proud of her!
