Congratulations to Hannah and Henry 👏🏻

Last year, two of my amazing students, sisters, Audrey and Lauren Chin, achieved a remarkable feat by winning Regional and National Gold medals for the Royal Conservatory Levels 6 & 7. They showcased their exceptional talent and dedication at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in January 2023. 🏅👏

I am incredibly proud of their hard work and determination that led to such a prestigious achievement. Their performance last year was truly a sight to behold, and it's a pleasure to see them receive the recognition they deserve.

This year, I am thrilled to share that another one of my students, Hannah Huang, will be performing at Carnegie Hall and receiving both Regional and National Gold medal on Sunday January 14. Such an accomplishment is truly a testament to her talent and commitment to music.

Ann Grennan's student, Ella Fu also earned a Regional and National Gold Medal for voice and I'm excited to accompany her for the performance this Sunday! I am truly grateful for the opportunity to witness and support their incredible musical journey.

Looking forward to another memorable performance at Carnegie Hall!
