Mastery School of Music

Happy Holidays from all of us at Mastery School of Music ✨

As the year comes to a close, we’re grateful for a wonderful year of learning, growth, and music-making. It’s been a joy to watch our students build their skills and confidence, with the continued support of our amazing families.

Thank you for being part of our community. We wish you a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with music, creativity, and inspiration.

Recitals play an important role in student development, both musically and personally.

They encourage responsibility, resilience, and self-belief, while reminding students that progress matters more than perfection. It teaches students how to prepare, recover, and keep going, even when things aren’t perfect.

As we head into the holidays, we’re reminded how meaningful these moments truly are. Watching students step onto the stage and celebrate how far they’ve come is the greatest gift.

Every performance is proof of growth, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Wishing our students and families a joyful holiday season 🤍

While many think of Christmas as being about presents and parties, we’re reminded that beautiful music is at the heart of the holiday season.

Recitals encourage young musicians to stretch beyond their comfort zones, connect with others, and gain confidence in who they are becoming. They also give students a well-deserved moment in the spotlight to share their growth.

📅 December 6 - 3PM to 7PM

A festive showcase of growing talent, bright spirits, and holiday joy. 🎄

Musically giving back to the local community

Our talented guitar teacher, Tyler Belding, and his melodic vocalist wife, Sian Colman-Black Belding, brought much joy to UBC’s local retirement home with a beautiful Sunday musical performance.

What it means to us: Tyler and Sian embody our school’s deeply rooted belief that music can make a real difference to everyone’s lives and strengthen intergenerational community connections.

To enjoy more memorable performances like these, follow us on Instagram and catch all our upcoming community recitals!

👉 Stay tuned for our next post featuring Tyler’s performance!

Can we take a moment to appreciate the flute?

Elegant, expressive, and full of life — the flute captures emotion like no other instrument. And who better to learn from than Ms. Mikyla Jensen?

Assistant Director of Mastery School of Music
She began piano lessons at just 3 years old and earned her ARCT in Piano Performance by 17. She also discovered her love for the flute and completed her Bachelor’s degree in Flute Performance with great distinction.

Mikyla continued her studies with a Master’s in Flute Performance at the University of Manitoba and an MA in Music Theory at UBC, where her research on tempo and performance was published in the UBC journal.
Now, she brings her passion, expertise, and stage experience to inspire students of all ages! 🎵
