My orchestra teacher has thought of a couple or few creative names.

• Orch Dorks- Anyone in orchestra
• Monkey Hang- The way you hold your bow

When I heard these names I couldnt help but smile.

I love her techniques of teaching.

I have never met ANYONE who has ever made me love somethinq as much as I love violin, music, and orchestra.

Until I met and went into her class Orchestra was at the bottom of my priority list in school.

I love orchestra now it being number 1 for me always. I support anyone who considers orchestra or learning any string instrument.

But without Rayburn Middle School's Orch Dork teacher, I would have never found anythinq so inspiring in my life.

I'm in 6th grade going into 7th. I never knew i could love somethinq as much as i do school. I am not saying this just to sound perfect or to just win the raffle.

Dont get me wrong that would be a great gift, but somethinqs in my life have never gone so great.

I find orchestra to be an escape from everythinq, but a door to new things.

Sincerely,Dezy De Leon
