Emma has studied piano with Alice Lindsey for six years. She is a sixth grader at Taft Middle School. She was nominated by Alice because her lessons are always prepared and she plays expressively.
Her advice to other musicians is that practice makes perfect. Emma takes pride in playing.
She also participates in choir and swimming. Other interests are running, drawing and hanging out with her friends. They’re writing a book.
Her favorite musicians are Ariana Grande and Sam Smith.
She says that her classmates would be surprised to know that she plays piano. Her teacher says ”Let’s fix that!”
Congratulations, Emma! Keep up the great work!
