As we count down to our Spring Artist Series finale, we’re looking back at this incredible performance of Liszt’s "Mephisto Waltz" by Dr. Bowen Li. While our May 24th program features the music of Debussy, Beethoven, and Gershwin, this clip perfectly captures the world-class virtuosity coming to the BCA stage.

Why a ball at a music lesson? 🏀🎹

If you walked into a BCA lesson and saw our Director, Dr. Koh, tossing a ball, you might think you were in the wrong room.

But there’s a scientific reason for the play.

In our Keyboard Games (KBG) program, we don’t start with "sitting still." We start with movement.

The ball helps the body "catch" the rhythm. When the ball is in the air, that’s the breath. When it lands in your hands, that’s the "Home" note (the resting tone). 🏠
By the time our students sit down at the piano, they aren't just reading notes—they are feeling the heartbeat of the music.

They learn faster. They play with more soul. And they never want to leave.
The Challenge: Can you and your little musician catch every "Home Base" note in London Bridge? 🌉✨

Try this today and let us know—did you catch them all?

It's raining tacos — and honestly? We wouldn't have it any other way. 🌮🌧️😂

This was the moment at last summer's Final Recital when everything came together. One week of learning, collaborating, and rehearsing — performed in front of a room full of proud, laughing parents.

Because this is what BCA Summer Arts Camp is really about:
Not perfection. Not pressure. Just the pure joy of standing on a stage with your friends and giving everything you've got — even if what you've got is a song about falling tacos. 🎵✨

The confidence they build here? That lasts long after the summer ends.

Give kids space to create — and watch what happens. 🎨🌳

No screens. No instructions. Just cardboard, sunshine, and the freedom to build something entirely their own.

At BCA Summer Camp, creativity isn't just something we teach in the music room — it's something we live. Whether they're constructing cardboard worlds outside or discovering the magic of playing together in an ensemble, our campers learn the same fundamental truth:

The best things are built together. 🤝

Learning music is a family affair. 🎵

One of our favourite moments at BCA Summer Camp is when parents step into the circle — scarves in hand, moving together with their children to the rhythm.
Because here's what 30 years of teaching has shown us:

When a child sees their parent play — not watch, not record, but actually play — something shifts. Music stops being a lesson and becomes a shared language. A memory they'll carry long after the summer ends.

Moving together. Growing together.

Summer should feel like this. ☀️🏃‍♂️
No rush. No screens. Just the sound of laughter, fresh air, and the freedom to simply be a kid.
At BCA Summer Arts Camp, we believe the best musical foundation is built when children feel at home — and sometimes, that means running through the grass before heading back in to play their next ensemble piece. 🎵🌿
Because joy and music? They're the same language.
