JC Music Student of the Month Galleries
Music Student of this Month:

Iman Ismail, Piano
————
Instructor: Brian Chrzanowski
Considering how hard our many music students work at their lessons and recitals, and of course all the music work they tend to do at their schools as well, we like to acknowledge someone who has worked a little harder recently and learned a new skill or technique, begun learning a new instrument or just finally mastered a tricky piece of music.
The JC Music Student of the Month is chosen during the first week of the following month and added to the gallery soon after their certificate is awarded and, whenever possible, their picture taken. We keep this record to encourage past winners to reflect on their accomplishments, as well as to inspire new and current students to keep playing and keep practicing!
Check out the month-by-month archives of all our exceptional music students!
