When I grow up ...

I would love to have the time to practice and play like Angela Hewitt!

A short memorable keyboard piece by French Baroque composer,

Francois Couperin (1668~1733)

Wonderfully interpreted by Angela Hewitt on piano.

Congratulations to: Keziah, Reagan, Thomas & Grace (May, 2011)

Just when I thought this class of MYC students was going to fall apart because families were moving on to other activities, moving away, or moving over to private lessons -- Thomas moved down from Edmonton and Keziah transferred over from an MYC teacher who moved away from Brooks.

These guys have been a fun & challenging group to teach. At their last class together I asked for highlights of the years we've been together -- and besides just enjoying coming to class, their favourite memories included seeing who could win the race to their parents' vehicle after class as well as playing hide 'n' seek in our yard. Their music class memories definitely include much more than just learning how to become a proficient readers of music and piano players! I'm happy that they will all be continuing their piano lesson "career" with other teachers and wish them all the best!

I just learned very recently that when we move to Edmonton, I will be teaching out of the very studio that Thomas transferred from -- it definitely is a small world! I will definitely miss all my students and their families here in Strathmore -- but look forward to the new relationships that will be built in Edmonton.
