Thank you to parents and students for all the Christmas gifts, cards, food, and flowers. Wishing for a blessed Christmas with peace and happiness in this holiday season to you and yours! May we all receive good health in the new year 2024 too, as this flu season seemed to be hanging on longer so far! Students, I look forward to seeing you all again from January 2nd:)

Congratulations to my students from yesterday ORMTA Etobicoke-Mississauga Branch Competitions, winning with 3 First Places, 4 Seconds & 3 Thirds, adjudicated by Dr. Amelia Yates. I was sad with 2 young students who did not place and had little drops of tears ❤️. But the key is to never give up and keep trying right everyone!? Yesterday also ended nicely as I got home to a cooked meal by my personal chef son Lucas and set up/clean by my daughter Elisa, for my 49th Birthday 😊 Thank you Elisa & Lucas for the special treat❤️

Student Matthew, level 10, definitely had lots of helpful guidance from Dr. Brett Kingsbury yesterday, at the first in person event Piano Masterclass again, since COVID pandemic started. I am super proud of Matthew, who will represent our Etobicoke-Mississauga branch to compete on June 4/22, at the ORMTA Provincial competitions.
