STUDENT OF THE MONTH: Drew Windham | Guitar

“Drew has been a dedicated, hard-working student for years, but he has taken things to the next level recently in lessons, learning new songs for his ROOTS OnStage Band, and working on a very difficult song for his school’s talent show. I’m blown away by his hard work and am so proud of him!” – Dave Mohr, Mentor

Hannah has been a music mentor at ROOTS for over 5 years now! You may have even seen her performing with the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra.
