Forte Student Of The Month - December 2007

Boogie With Sebastian!

At six years old, Sebastian recorded his first song on the piano and hasn’t looked back since. Just three years later, Sebastian has full-length albums recorded, multiple live performances under his belt, and is flawlessly playing a collection of his favorite songs. When you ask Sebastian about the impressive accomplishments he has achieved at nine-years old, his beaming smile says it all. Always well prepared for his weekly lessons, Sebastian is truly passionate about learning music. When he had a hard time learning the beat to the Halloween song, Pumpkin Boogie, Sebastian worked through the challenge with his instructor by actively listening to a recorded version of the song over and over again and carefully reading and practicing the musical notations. Confidently mastering this tune, Sebastian now claims it as one of his all time favorites. To hear Sebastian’s own rendition of Pumpkin Boogie, please click here.
