Student Spotlight: Noah w.
1. How long have you taken music lessons?
Since I was 6 months old, and now I’m 14 months!
2. What do you like about music classes?
I am the happiest boy on earth in music class! I love dancing in the middle of the circle and with my new friends, the repetition game “my turn, your turn, here we go” with the microphone (I now repeat the “ba ba ba” sound!), playing with (and chewing on) all the instruments, and doing the quiet and loud taps during our welcome song.
3. What instrument(s) are your favorite?
Maracas or anything that shakes! I also enthusiastically play my mini piano almost daily.
4. What are your favorite songs or artists to listen to?
Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go.”
5. What are some of your favorite foods?
Thai peanut satay with roasted vegetables and tofu. And blueberries. Always blueberries.
6. What are your favorite activities to do when not playing music?
I love to splash in the pool, climb on blocks (and my mother), play with my friends, and use a laundry basket as a walker to push around the house. I also love to wave enthusiastically with my fist to everyone I meet.
10. Why should other people play music?
Music is a universal way of bringing joy to yourself and others. It’s a way to connect, even when you don’t share the same language or are too young to talk (like me!).
““Ms. Emily and Brighter Minds Music have brought Noah and I such immense joy. The songs and dance moves we have learned bring us joy both inside and outside of the music room, and have brought us even closer as a mommy-son duo. Coming to Brighter Minds isn’t just a music class, it’s the cultivation of a lively, inclusive, joyful community that we hope to be a part of forever. “
