Ella is Student of the Month(s?) for her strength and courage in both music and family. Ella has not only put in the hard work to cultivate her playing & singing skills, she has also faced her fears of performance. And to top it all off, she's been a tremendous help to her family during this time. Go, Ella!
ABOUT ELLA:
Guitar & Voice with Nick LW (since Aug 2017)
Age 11 - 6th grade at Emma Smith
Ella also likes doing DIY projects, making copper jewelry, making art projects, reading books, singing
"Ella always had a good ear and a good sense of rhythm. There was a little while where I wasn't sure she would figure out how to switch chords on guitar. Then, slowly but surely, she started to be able to play a few 3 chord songs like with G, C, D or A, E, D. She has just kept picking up momentum lately! Now, she can play bar chords, and we're starting to work on more complex rhythm and syncopation, it's been fun to see her progress!" - Nick LW

From her family -
Ella's passion for music has grown. Her independence has significantly improved. Her eagerness to help the family has been invaluable.
Ella has been a huge help with her 6-month old brother, Nathan, singing to him during the day to help him nap and in the evenings to put him to bed. She also enjoys playing the guitar while her brother, Nolan, sings. Ella has also become much more independent. She helps with her brother and she even started cooking simple meals. On the weekends, Ella helps do household chores like planting vegetable seeds & laundry. She even folds her own clothes to put in her closet.!She vacuumed the cars to make sure they’re ready for short trips to the beach or to the grocery!
Ella has shown a lot of improvement & confidence in playing the guitar since she first started with Music Time - she's now willing to record and post performances on social media!

"Anything you think of doing, however insignificant, should be done immediately. Spur yourself on and carry it through without becoming discouraged. If this becomes an ingrained habit, things you thought were impossible will become possible, and closed doors will open, as you will discover in many ways." - Shinichi Suzuki
