Spring Recital:
Registration is officially closed for our 2024 Spring Recital at the Mississauga Living Arts Center. We have over 400 students that are ready to take the stage and perform in April!
Keep your eyes on your inboxes for some emails from us with all of the details that you need to know.
Knights Table Food Bank fundraising:
As you know, we do not charge for any tickets, admission or administration fees for the spring and winter recital. We do this to keep our focus on giving back to our communities.
We are proud to fundraise for the Brampton Knights Table Food Bank. It’s a pretty incredible organization which is open 365 days a year and provides about 138 ,000 meals each year to their clients and over a million pounds of food donated to the clients which is quite incredible.
If you are able to provide a monetary donation we will accept that at the doors of the recital.
Note: at this time we don’t accept any sort of food donations
Student and Teacher of the Month:
Each month we recognize a student who is showing their dedication and their passion for their lessons when they come in each week. So congratulations to Azalea P for keeping up the great work every week.
Our April teacher of the month is our Brampton teacher, Hilda, who provides piano and violin lessons. She is great with all students, adults and the little ones. So keep up the great work and congratulations!
Retirement Home Showcases:
One of our goals this year is to connect with our community and foster an energy of giving back any way that we can.
We have been delighted to get back to our retirement home showcases. We open up an hour of performances for our students to bring back the talent to seniors and to bring a little joy and music to their space.
Our next showcase will be at the Mountainview Residence in Georgetown which will be May 14th at 6:30pm.
Call, text or email to reserve your time slot before they get filled.
Tips & Tricks: Practicing
So many times we get asked what’s expected of the student for practicing at home.
Sometimes people think that they need to be practicing a whole bunch every day, hours on end to be able to get the results that they want. One of our teachers used an analogy that really stuck with us that kind of helps bring it all to light.
So if you think about brushing your teeth, if you wait all the way till Saturday to brush your teeth Saturday morning, but don’t touch your toothbrush for the whole week leading up to it, you’re going to have a whole lot of cleanup to do on the Saturday versus if you do two minutes of brushing your teeth morning and night each day then you only have a little bit of cleanup so it’s not so much work.
The same idea applies to practicing! We always recommend beginner students to practice about 10 or 15 minutes a day – set a timer, review the material learned in the lesson and before you know it you’re going to be mastering all of that material and then ready for your next lesson to learn something new.
Short amounts of repeated practice frequently is key!
Secret word:
If you stick around till the end of the update we reveal a secret word and for your chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card with us. So if you text, call, or email us our April secret word: FLOWERS
