MISS AILA KHAN! Aila is in first grade, and is currently studying piano. She has GREATLY improved on note recognition on BOTH staffs. She also consistently completes at least one song per week out of her Bastein Piano Basics Level 1 Book. This is what Aila said about her love of music - “I like the sound of many notes coming together, meaning chords, and I like how a piano looks and feels under my fingers. Whenever I play the piano, I can tell now if I’m playing the right notes or not.” Currently, Aila’s favorite pianist is Lang Lang.
CONGRATULATIONS AILA!!! Keep up the Great Work and Practice!
