Danilo Andres Progress Report 2022-2023

 

 Danilo's bass playing has continued to grow, and he now performs regularly with his band. He continues to cook unique vegan dishes for Mom, including vegan peanut butter cookies and Indian food. He has grown into a very smart, extroverted, and curious boy. He uses public transportation to go to every class by himself and is very comfortable with the subway system of Boston. This year, Danilo started lessons at Zumix, a unique space for youth in East Boston. He has learned much about music, sound engineering, and organizing events and has found an incredible community of friends of all ages. An extraordinary thing that happened this year is that Danilo got a full scholarship to the High School Program at Berklee College of Music.
