I'd like to nominate Aubrey Pennington for her excellence. Aubrey has been tackling some difficult rhythmic work lately, and while she's done this I've been delighted by her expression of self. She's open and honest about her practice regiment. This allows for me as her teacher to be able to guide her through what she's learning. Pointing out that it can be hard to be this honest is of utmost importance. I'm glad she feels comfortable sharing! Aubrey's music reading ability has improved significantly since we've been working together, and I hope it becomes a skill she holds to for years to come.
