October 2015 Student of the Month
Nathaniel Kinchen
Gypsy Rhapsody – Rollin
Minuet in G – J.S. Bach
13 year old Nathaniel Kinchen has been a student of mine for over 3 years now. He is currently in the 8th grade in a homeschooling program that he attends with his brothers. In the past few months, Nathaniel has developed much more disciplined practice habits, prepared pieces for performances, and shown marked improvement in his sight reading. In addition, Nathaniel consistently performs well in both recitals and competitions. He will be beginning extended lessons in January of 2016. In addition to piano, Nathaniel enjoys martial arts, playing the drums, and technological pursuits. He also works part time at his dad’s store, Hall Piano Company! In Nathaniel’s words, he enjoys music because “it is another way to express yourself other than through words and actions.” Well put, Nathaniel.
