Student of the Month
Hayden H. has been a drum student at Musical Surprise for over three years and has shown tremendous progress in his playing.
He was nominated by his teacher Mike M. because, “He has a love for music and I’ve seen him build his confidence through playing drums and discipline with sticking, note reading, and technique. He has a great sense of humor and has some amazing stick dexterity!”
Hayden has been involved in our Rock Star Academy and multiple Concert in the Park performances.
Way to go Hayden!
