Canada Music Week Recital 2013 (ORMTA Owen Sound Branch)

Our recital was one week ago today, and I think it went really well! Altogether we had 22 students play a wide variety of Canadian works.  A couple of fun duets were showcased, and even some brave adults played to the very appreciate audience.  Everyone played so well and confidently, and it was a great way to share all the hard work we'd done this fall.

Canada Music Week/Blue Snowball Mic Trial #2

November 17th to 23rd, 2013 is Canada Music Week... it's a week to celebrate, support and promote everything to do with Canadian music.  Yay!  This friday our local registered music teachers group (ORMTA) is hosting a student recital in celebration, and the program features twenty different Canadian composers.  Stay tuned for highlights from this recital...

But for this post I am choosing to feature one of my favourite Canadian composers, Alexina Louie.

End of Term Recital

This being the first post on my new blog, it seems fitting to share with you the exciting start of summer.  On June 13 the studio-- along with the students of my friend and colleague Irene Enns-- presented a Junior/Intermediate Piano Recital to finish off the term.  This recital reflected all the hard work and commitment each student demonstrated this year, and besides my living room being a tad crowded I think everyone enjoyed themselves!

Everyone signed their name.
