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

Please also help us congratulate Aarya M on winning the draw for the secret word from March!

That’s all for this month! See you in May for our next update!
