Since the fifth grade, Kevin Riffle has had a perpetual love for
music.
A member of Medina Middle School’s band, Riffle plays percussion
sometimes on the bells, snare drum or the cymbals. He will start the eighth
grade next month.
“He learned to play the recorder in the fifth grade and he
earned all of his belts,” said Debbie Riffle, his mother. Students earn
credits, or “belts,” as they master different instruments and music in class.
Riffle said her son has Down syndrome and splits his school day in a regular education and special education class.
“Band and science are his favorites,” she said. “He loves music so much that we decorated his bedroom in a rock ‘n’ roll theme using the Beatles.”'
