Arianna has been a voice student of Alica Lumberry at West Music Quad Cities since the beginning of May. “Arianna is a dedicated student who LOVES to sing. She is not afraid of a challenge and consistently works hard to improve every week. Though we have not worked together for long, I know Arianna will continue to grow as a musician. It has been a joy to work with her!” -Alicia Lumberry.
Arianna is going to be a freshman at Moline High School. One of her musical goals is to expand her range. Her advice to other students is “Music is fun, Listen to your teacher YOU MUST PRACTICE!”
She is involved in school musicals, plays, honor choir and orchestra. Her other interests are traveling, reading, and horseback riding. Arianna’s favorite music is pop and show tunes. It might surprise you to learn that Arianna won second place in her county’s current events contest and that she is always on high honor roll.
Great job, Arianna! Keep up the good work!
