May Piano Student of the Month – Seona Savadi
This May, we’re excited to feature CCM piano student, Seona Savadi, as our Student of the Month! Seona has been taking piano lessons with teacher Dario at our Sunnyvale location for almost 2 years now! Teacher Dario says she is a wonderful student who works hard on her pieces with joy. Seona always comes into the lessons in a good mood and ready to learn! She has shown great musicality and curiosity – every week she seems to write a new song with thought out ideas and choices that show a real understanding of what she covers in lessons. Way to go, Seona!

Seona practices what her teacher taught her, but she is also making her own music.
Why did you decide to give your child a musical upbringing?
We believe learning music helps kids with focus and discipline and explore their creative side. Seona’s two older siblings and her mom also learn music at CCM. So it was natural for Seona to join CCM with them.
