Paul: from Student to future Music Educator

Paul began private music lessons during his sophomore year of high school, thanks to a Cadence Music scholarship. What started as an opportunity quickly became a turning point. With consistent access to high-quality instruction, Paul grew in skill, confidence, and ambition.

Through his lessons, he found the courage to audition for ensembles he once thought were out of reach. He didn’t just improve, he thrived.

Now a college student, Paul is pursuing a degree in Music Education, with a dream of inspiring the next generation of musicians just as his instructors inspired him.

“Without my scholarship I wouldn’t be taking lessons. I would’ve still grown as a musician, but not to where I am today.” — Paul

Paul’s journey is at the heart of Cadence Music’s mission: to ensure that every student, regardless of financial circumstance, has the opportunity to unlock their future through music.
