It’s been just about a year since Ella first embarked on her piano adventure, and it has truly been a year of wonderful discovery. From the very first lesson, her eyes lit up with curiosity, and that initial spark has grown into a deep love for music that inspires everyone around her.
This past year has been rich with exciting experiences for Ella. She eagerly participated in a piano recital, an inspiring opportunity that allowed her to share her growing skills and feel the thrill of performing. Adding to these accomplishments, Ella also successfully passed the rigorous Certificate of Merit (CM) test, a testament to her dedication, consistent effort, and the remarkable progress she’s made in her studies.
For Ella, the piano is the source of immense joy and a wonderful way to express herself. Her musical journey is unfolding beautifully, filled with passion and growth, and we can’t wait to see all the incredible places her talent will take her next.
