Our Last Concert of 2024 🎼 — A Perfect Finale!

Christmas is just around the corner! Time flies! A huge thank you to all the parents and students who joined our annual Christmas concert. The performances were absolutely wonderful and full of variety — from erhu, singing, dancing, marimba, to four-hand duets and more! We had two sessions, and honestly, we didn’t expect the venue to be so lively and packed, every seat taken! A total of 40 students participated, and for some, this was their very first performance — let’s give them a big round of applause ! We hope to have ALL our students perform together in our big summer concert next time! Here’s to making our future music events even better! Special thanks to all the guests, our photographer, and everyone who helped with the event — we couldn’t have done it without you. Looking back at 2024, our studio has made steady progress. In addition to organizing many events, many of our students achieved outstanding results in competitions and RCM exams. We are incredibly proud of the progress you’ve made! Thank you to the parents for your trust, to the students for your hard work, and to our amazing teachers for your dedication and persistence. It’s because of all of you that this journey is possible!

See you in 2025!

2024 November

we hosted our very first Group Piano Performance Class at our Burnaby studio! 🎹 The kids learned while performing, gaining valuable stage experience and teacher feedback, all while interacting with each other. The classroom was filled with laughter and joy — such a fun and lively atmosphere! The purpose and benefits of group classes include:
💎 A group performance setting is more dynamic than one-on-one lessons, fostering peer interaction.
💎 Students observe and evaluate each other, learning collaboratively.
💎 Build stage experience, making performance a regular part of piano learning.
💎 Public performance helps students quickly identify and correct mistakes.
💎 Boost confidence and sense of achievement.

2024 May Tomlee New Student Stage Class

感谢到场的琴童与爸爸妈妈们的支持！本次活动由Ben Liao，Sarah Tao，Emily Liu，与我们的Lucia Chan导师们到场支持举办！再次谢谢老师们为孩子的努力用心与专业配合！演出前小朋友们都比较紧张，本次都是初次登台，初级别的小朋友们；第一次演出都有些拘谨羞涩，出错误。不过没关系！在导师们的鼓励与指点后，第二次登台孩子们更加放得开，同时也看到了孩子们的努力把老师们提出来的建议纠正，呈现更好演出的状态。太棒了这周回家爸妈可以给孩子们多加个！实战永远比纸上谈兵强太多，这也是演出的终极意义所在，也是孩子们宝贵首次舞台经验！

Huge thanks to all the students & parents for coming! Special shoutout to Ben Liao, Sarah Tao, Emily Liu & mentor Lucia Chan for making this day possible. Our little beginners were nervous on their first stage — a few mistakes happened, but with guidance, the second performance was AMAZING!

2024 April Rideau Senior Residence Student Performance

4.20 Rideau Senior residence 养老院义演活动圆满成功！感谢我们工作室17位学生们献爱心为老人家们义演！部分第一次上台学生客服了羞涩紧张都顺利完成了弹奏！在献爱心的同时也开启了演奏经验。希望孩子们今后在老师的教导下，提高演奏水平，积累舞台演奏经验，能越做越好！活动过后，每位孩子们还为老人院的老人们献上自己的手工工艺品。有一幅幅孩子悉心做的画，钥匙链，手链，贴纸，“寿”字画，老人家们被孩子们带来的礼物乐高兴得合不拢嘴！家长们看到自己孩子给老人们带来快乐也倍感欣慰！活动结束后，老人家们告诉陶老师孩子们的到来他们非常开心！夸奖演出活动安排紧紧有条，孩子们细心，有礼貌，音乐不仅好听，让他们的晚年生活增添了色彩，体会到了家的温暖，说着老人家们湿润了眼眶。还说多鼓励孩子们继续多参加演出，培养他们的自信与勇气。这是一次记忆难忘的周六下午。最后养老院的工作人员也是希望以后能多组织类似公益活动，为社区的老人们带来更多的欢乐与热闹！再次由衷感谢家长与学生们的准备与参与!

🎶 April 20 – Rideau Senior Residence Charity Concert 🎶
Seventeen of our students shared music and love with the seniors, some performing on stage for the very first time! 💕 After the concert, children also gifted handmade crafts—drawings, bracelets, keychains, and more—bringing big smiles to the residents. The seniors praised the students’ politeness and music, saying the performance brought warmth and joy to their lives. Parents were touched to see their children grow in confidence while spreading kindness. A truly unforgettable Saturday afternoon—thank you to all our students and families for making this meaningful event possible! 🌸

2024 January | New Year Recital

1.14.2024 新年音乐会圆满成功！四场音乐会，四十多位小小琴童们在舞台上大展风采！我们的Emily，与Seira老师轮流主持；与学生们精心准备的曲目一一呈上。音乐会节目多样形式化，有学生们，老师们准备的四手联弹，从巴洛克到古典，印象派，爵士，中国乐曲，长笛双重奏。另外，也感谢Yiye Arts 叶老师，作为客串嘉宾，带领五位小朋友为我们音乐会献上了生动有趣，可可爱爱的儿童舞蹈表演！舞台上，小朋友们上台秩序紧紧有条，从初级到高级别；台风愈发稳重大方。老师们深感欣慰！同时，也继续提醒大家背谱问题，平时不要只靠肌肉记忆背谱子。到了正式场合一紧张就出现忘谱现象，平时背谱时需要认真背下音符与曲目和弦结构，这样背谱子更加扎实，不容易演奏时掉链子。上台时，步伐稳，深呼吸，别着急，想好了再开始。相信孩子们会为下一次演出打好更坚实的基础！

New Year Concert – January 14, 2024
Our four concerts were a full success, with over forty young pianists shining on stage! Hosts Emily Liu and Seira Hayakashi guided the program, featuring piano four-hands, flute duets, and music from Baroque to Jazz to Chinese works. Special thanks to Ms. Ye Jia (Yiye Arts), who brought an adorable children’s dance performance to the stage. Students performed from beginner to advanced levels with growing confidence and poise—teachers couldn’t be prouder! A gentle reminder: when memorizing, don’t rely only on muscle memory—learn notes and structure carefully for a solid performance. Walk calmly, breathe deeply, and take your time before playing. Here’s to even stronger performances in the future!
