Meet the Pianist

  • This year the studio has one graduating Senior, Kameron Ali! He has worked hard to get to this point so please get to know him in the "Meet the Pianist" Article below!
Dear Parents and Students
I can;t even express how much fun Miss Delaney, Sarah, and I had on the day of our virtual recitals. We missed students so much and it was such a blast seeing everyone. As much as we would like to all be together right now, I think having most the studio being a part but in a digital world keeps us safe! That being said, we are bringing some students that have bad internet and students that are having trouble online while following strict safety protocols. If online lessons are going well we should just continue online.

Our Summerjam will also be a youtube premiere concert similar to our end of year recitals so we will watch it in real time together with a live chat but students will need to submit their project or song to me before the end of August to put the concert together. Students that participate in the in-person outdoor group classes will be recorded so they won't need to submit a separate video.

Each year though-out my career I finish the year out with at least one graduating Senior. This year it is Kameron Ali. It is bittersweet to see these kids grow up into amazing young adults and have to say good bye. Similar to life, piano lessons have ups and downs and through it all the piano remains a constant. I am so lucky to make these connections with students and will treasure my time with Kameron. Please check out a Q&A about his study below! One day it might be your child :)

Happy Summer!!
Jacqui

Meet the Pianist
Kameron Ali
Kameron has been a student of mine for around 7 years. For 7 years I have seen Kameron every single week and watched him grow into the musician he is today! We have laughed, worked through frustrations, performed together,celebrated success's, and worked through some musical and life challenges. He is an incredibly intelligent and hardworking individual. I have enjoyed mentoring him and will truly miss him. I know he will visit me as he dives into the next chapter of his life though and I will look forward to hearing about all of his adventures!

Please check out the "Meet the Pianist" Q&A with Kameron here!
