THE YOUNG MUSICIAN'S UNIVERSITY

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

KYLEE OTTO CONGRATS!! Our student spotlights recognize students who are exceptionally demonstrating growth and musically excelling. We are so grateful to be associated with these fantastic students and their supportive parents! Again Congratulations Kylee! Keep up the great work!

ABOUT KYLEE My name is Kylee and I am a 14-year-old freshman at Blythewood High School. I have always been an avid music lover and find joy through playing the piano. I have been a part of YMU for 2 years and love working with the amazing teachers. Ms. Kierra has really taught me how to do things I never thought I could in life. I started with singing but figured out I loved the piano much more. I hope one day, with the amazing things I’ve learned and will learn in the future, I will be able to study it more in high school and college and get a degree in music. I really love being part of the YMU family and learning new things.

This month, I nominate Kylee Otto for the YMU Student Spotlight. Kylee is close to finishing her first class in her new books, and while learning new rhythms has been challenging for her, she has continued to grow tremendously! She's also getting ready to leave the country for a few weeks to visit family, and she's prepared to take a portable piano and wake up early due to the time difference, to be able to continue her lessons. I love her dedication and her enthusiasm when it comes to piano class, and she's a joy to teach! ~ Kierra Gray, YMU Instructor
