Isaac Mccarthy

Isaac McCarthy started playing music at the tender age of 4 and took up drums at 6. He came to Vista Music in 2021 and has been learning with John ever since. Isaac has enjoyed learning about different styles of music with John—pop, country, jazz, and he especially likes rock. If you’ve attended one of Vista Music’s recitals over the past couple of years, you most surely have heard Isaac and John rocking out to Metallica, Nirvana, Def Leppard, and more. Isaac would absolutely love to become part of a band someday, and jam with friends for life!

Morgan Yang

Morgan started her violin lesson with Miss Mimi at 6 years old, since then she has been putting much time and effort into this learning violin.
As she follows in her older brothers' steps, who were Vista Music’s students for years, she has started her own journey and never plans to stop.
After attending countless lessons and recitals, her confidence to perform in front of an audience has grown.
She is determined to master the art of becoming a violinist and hopes to show as an inspiration to younger and newer students, who hope to pursue their passion as she did.

Isabella Livingston

"Izzy", as she affectionately known, started her musical journey at the young age of 4 at our Preschooler's Music Program held at her school. She had her first piano lesson at Vista Music when she was 5 1/2 in 2015.  Since that time, she has spent countless hours practicing year after year and because of this she has received many certificates for the method books in the Bastien Piano Series.  Izzy has participated in recitals every year and has earned beautiful trophies.  All students have the opportunity to be awarded a trophy based on their participation: dedication to preparation and willingness to perform. She also chooses her own material from contemporary songs she loves. She is now 12 and has been a student here for 7 years and has become a very talented pre-teen.

Congratulations Izzy!
