Yes, fun is a worthy goal of playing music. Vaughn Webster, a 6th grader who plays the cello, is one of many of our student musicians who have realized that just 10 minutes of daily practice can quickly add up to a big improvement in musical skills, and the better you get, the more fun you have playing music! Congratulations, Vaughn, as Mrs. Wright says, you are a delight!
The Music Student of the Month series recognizes Orcas Island Public School musicians who work hard at their musical skills and whose love of music is an inspiration to their fellow student musicians. Thank you so much to the Orcas Island businesses who are sponsoring this monthly series throughout the 2022-23 school year that recognizes the efforts of student musicians and the value of school music!
