Student of the Month:
🎊Congratulations to Wiley Viado!🎊

A boy and a man smiling together in a comic book store.

This October, we’re shining the spotlight on Wiley, a talented musician who’s been taking lessons with us for about a year! He’s been exploring piano, singing, and drumming, learning how to blend rhythm and melody across different instruments. 🥁🎹🎵
 

One of the coolest things Wiley’s learned recently is how to play chords—a skill that’s helping him take his music to the next level. He’s inspired by artists like Tove Lo and HuntrIX, and when he’s not making music, you can find him mountain biking or swimming. 🚴🏻🏊🏻
 

When it comes to treats, Wiley keeps it classic with his favorite—chocolate! 

We can’t wait to see Wiley take the stage at the upcoming Winter Recital. Keep up the amazing work, Wiley—your passion and dedication for music truly shine!

Achievements


The Santee Music Academy and The San Diego School of Music are the only music schools in the San Diego that give their students the opportunity to earn special colored wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests with the Musical ladder System®. which has been awarded multiple patients and is being used by schools nationwide.


Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with the smiling faces by giving them full color, really cool "Musical Ladder System®" wristbands that they can show off to their friends.
