Studio Spotlight - Sawyer Yates

Sawyer Yates is 3 1/2. He loves to play make believe, do puzzles, help his mommy bake, and dance whenever there's music. He goes around the house singing primary songs and his own made up songs. Sawyer has loved music since before he was born! Learning to play the piano is a dream come true for him. His favorite color is orange (although, he would tell you a whole list of colors if you asked him)! He loves to count and cut paper and do anything that's active or keeps him moving. Sawyer LOVES books and can recite most of his books word for word. His favorite part of the day is when the mailman comes and he's very disappointed when the mailbox is empty. Sawyer is very innovative and loves to help his daddy build things, fix things, and come up with solutions. He's a good big brother and helps take care of his little sister.

Studio Spotlight - Jenna Fellows

I want to take some time every few weeks to highlight our students. These are amazing young people who are accomplishing a lot of good and I think it's important to get to know each other! Here is The oldest of our group - Jenna.


​My name is Jenna Fellows and I'm 15. I am a sophomore at Sky View High School and I love everything about it! I love all the high school activities, especially the sporting events! My favorite classes are Spanish and P.E.  I love to be athletic so I play volleyball and golf, both of which I enjoy immensely. I play as a right side hitter on my volleyball team and it's so much fun. My hobbies include spending time with friends and family, unorganized dancing (and singing) to music, doing athletic stuff, watching Downton Abbey, and I actually do like to practice the piano. I love all food, but I especially love chocolate and ice cream. When I graduate high school I want to go to BYU, get a degree in Sports Medicine, and become an athletic trainer that works with young athletes (or I want to be a billionaire with lots of baby elephants). I have been playing piano for 8 years and I have grown to love it. I accompany people in church and I am serving as a ward chorister.  My favorite style of music to play is romantic and contemporary.  My favorite music to listen and sing along to is 80's music. My favorite quote is,"If you have lovely thoughts they will shine out your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely!" -Roald Dahl

The Blog is Up and Running...Again...

I'm a terrible blogger! Ive tried so many times to keep one going but I never seem to be able to. I feel this is important to my studio though, so I'll try again...hopefully with better success.

This blog will contain announcements and other things pertinent to the success of our students and musical families. Feel free to make comments! I'll try to keep it updated so check back frequently.
I;m excited to have all of you part of our studio!
