Cortez Lewis

We would like to introduce the latest student at the Cherry Beach School of Music His name is Cortez Lewis, and he is a dancer, an athlete and a budding drummer. This student also happens to be only four years old! Cortez has recently been taking drum lessons, and is already showing excellent promise.

Cortez seems to have a natural inclination for all things with a rhythm. He has been taking lessons outside of the Cherry Beach School of Music in tae kwon do, and two genres of dance: jazz and tap. While in class, Cortez learns the proper steps, but when he gets home he is known to wildly improvise in his tap shoes on the hard wood floor. As he began exploring all these different rhythmic forms, drum lessons seemed to follow the natural path he was already heading down. With the help of his immensely supportive and encouraging family, Cortez was enrolled in the Cherry Beach School of Music.

Cortez has built confidence and learned elements of discipline through his classes outside of our facility. At the Cherry Beach School of Music, we will continue to build his confidence and discipline levels, but also focus on the freedom of creativity.

At the age of two, Cortez was given his very first drum kit. He has always been encouraged to try new things and find out what he's good at and what he truly does best. By exposing him to all these wonderful, diverse fields, he will now have a broad path throughout life that he can follow however he so chooses.

Cortez is truly a child who dances to the beat of his very own drum. For more information, check out "www.cherrybeachschoolofmusic.com"

These talented sisters will be in our studio in the near future, and we are eager to hear what they will create.
