Hello, my name is Lauren Shim. I am a senior at Johns Creek High School, and I am thrilled to be co-president again this year for Notes of Joy. Amie and I have been participating in Notes of Joy for years, and we are always excited for heartwarming performances and memories. I've been playing the violin since I was 9 years old, and I intend on using this experience for the community. Notes of Joy helps us to spread our love for music to the community, and I am so excited for another year with our ensemble and the community!
Hello everybody! My name is Amie Wang, and I am currently a junior at Johns Creek High School. I am so excited to be a part of Notes of Joy this year again! Playing music every weekend with my friends makes more memorable memories each time. I've been playing violin since I was 8 years old, and I've been in orchestra for nearly 7 years now. I look forward to making happier memories as more performances come. Being a part of this club is one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had, and I have learned so much from this club. Here's to another great year of spreading joy through music!

My name is Alex Pu, and I am currently a senior at Johns Creek High School. I joined Notes of Joy my freshman year -- the same year I started playing the double bass. I was enthralled by the prospect of combining my newfound passion, music, with community service. Being able to perform whilst spending time with senior citizens is truly one of the most rewarding ways, that I have found, to spend your Saturdays.
Hello everyone! My name is Jessie Hertz, I am currently a
senior at JCHS, and this is my fourth year in the Notes of Joy club. Notes of
Joy enables me to spread happiness through one of my favorite activities –
playing the violin. Joining my peers at weekend performances and conducting
cheerful conversations with the residents afterwards, fills my heart with joy.
Thank you all for your support and we look forward to continue spreading love
and happiness through music!
My name is Daniel Kim, and I am a senior at Johns Creek.
I've been playing the violin ever since I was in 1st grade. I have since always
enjoyed playing the instrument and making music. My time in Notes of Joy is
unforgettable. It brings me joy to go to senior homes and watch the audience
listen to our music. It was inspiring for me to see people with such different
backgrounds to get together for a common cause. I hope this club continues to
exist and make people smile.

Hello everyone! My name is Lauren Ha, and I’m so excited to be a part of Notes of Joy again this year! I’m currently a junior at Johns Creek High School, and this is my third year in the club. I’ve been playing violin for a little over seven years now, and I have been in orchestra for seven years as well. Other than playing violin, I enjoy playing piano and guitar! I love music, and being able to spread my passion and joy for it through this club is absolutely amazing. Not only is spreading the love for music great, but also meeting such kind people throughout the Johns Creek community is just a wonderful experience.

Hi everyone! Our names are Priscilla and Jenny, and we are the co-founders and co-presidents of Notes of Joy. Here's a little bit more about ourselves:
The following information was written in 2012. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Jenny Di last Spring as she graduated from Johns Creek HS and is preparing for her new chapter of life at the University of Southern California. Good luck to you, Jenny! We love and miss you!!!
Priscilla Kim (L): Hey everyone! I'm currently a junior at Johns Creek High School, and
I've been playing the violin for 9 years! I come from a family with a
strong musical background, so music has always been a huge part of my
life! This past summer, I went to GHP (Governor's Honors Program) in
Valdosta for four weeks, where I majored in music (violin), and my love
for playing and performing really grew there. I also love hanging out
with friends and family, watching crime shows, playing Just Dance, and
simply relaxing!! I don't play any sports competitively (I wish I could
say I did), but I enjoy watching basketball and soccer! :) Get to know
me if you'd like!! I love meeting new people!!
Jenny Di (R): Hey guys! I'm 18 years old and currently a senior at Johns Creek High School. I've played the cello for almost 10 years now and have enjoyed every moment of it. Through all my years of making music, Notes of Joy has definitely been my most rewarding experience. I live a very active lifestyle, so you can always find me running, biking, or playing with my puppy Simon. I'm a foodie at heart, but unfortunately I'm also a messy eater. I love history and especially love reading historical fiction. I also teach swim lessons at the YMCA and am a mentor at the Rainbow Village transitional housing community. Please feel free to contact us anytime!
