My students put on a wonderful recital this week. It was so wonderful to hear everyone! There is truly nothing quite like the rewarding feeling of seeing all that hard work, dedication, and practice pay off on stage.

Registration forms will go out in June for our September term.

Have a great summer!

North Peace Performing Arts Festival is now under way! Piano starts this coming Sunday at 2:00 and continues through to Wednesday morning at the St. James Cathedral. All the students have been working very hard, make sure to come listen to them perform!

The North Peace Performing Arts Festival Association is dedicated to providing an opportunity for all students to participate, perform and learn from one another. Students gain appreciation and knowledge from formal adjudications and receive encouragement to continue their studies.

Happy Thanksgiving! The fall piano lesson term is well under way! It is wonderful to have everyone back in the studio. As well as learning note names, rhythms, fancy Italian terms and random old guys named Mozart and Beethoven.... practice is also something we have to learn to do. Just like hockey or dance practice, you need to show up for piano practice too, the rewards in the end are great!

For the rest of October, ask your child to play their weekly assignments for you, help them set practice times and goals. :)

Piano lessons are now over for the season. Some students and I will be heading to Sutherland Nursing home the morning of December 23 to share some Christmas music with the residents. After that, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas season! Have yourself a merry little Christmas!

What a great week back at lessons!! I hope that everyone is settling into some sort of a practice routine that fits your family. I have attached some tips on how you can help your child in their practicing. Have a great fall weekend!

I am putting the finishing touches on my fall schedule!! It will be a great lesson year! I have only two afterschool spots left open (one Tuesday and one Wednesday), but I do have daytime lesson flexibility for those who are able to to make morning or early afternoon time slots. 🎹🎶🎵🎶🎹

This summer, I am currently reading a piano pedagogy book written by Marvin Blickenstaff (who I met at a RCM conference in 2019 and has an amazing wealth of knowledge) and I have come across this quote that he quoted and it resonated with me as a piano teacher 💞.
