So proud of Anna!! Anna loves to sing but she was always a little shy sharing her music. This year, she faced her fears and not only sang beautifully but gave a wonderful introduction to everyone at our June Showcase. There is nothing more exciting to see our young students grow as humans. Bravo Anna!! #surreybc #surrey604 #voicelessonssurreybc
Beautiful Candice! Yes you made us happy when you shared your music with all of us! Candice started in Fall 2023 and she’ll be in Part 2A (3rd book) of The Music Tree Series before the end of summer. Keep up the good work Candice :) #surrey604 #surreybc #pianolessonssurreybc #musiclessonssurreybc

Did you know that students who take music lessons do better than their non musical peers in school? Although music is often cut from school programs, “Our research proved this belief wrong and found the more the students engage with music, the better they do in those subjects,” said UBC education professor and the study’s principal investigator, Peter Gouzouasis. (Full article in comments) It seems Plato knew what he was talking about all those years ago in Ancient Greece when he said: “I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.” ..#surreybc #surrey604 #surreybcmusiclessons #surreybcpiano #surreybcvoice #surreybcmusic
Quick reminder that there’s no afternoon or evening classes due to trick-or-treaters. Thanks Owen for playing along to create the Phantom of the Opera.
Young Terry had a busy 2002, from receiving the highest mark at the Maria’s Record Music Festival to a Honourable Mention at the IPPA Conero International Piano Competition. Here, he is opening for The Matrix Duo at Canada Week. He will be completing his Level 8 RCM in January. #surreybc #surreybc #pianolessonssurreybc
Thank you to everyone who has purchased your ticket to our Christmas Choral Concert - Nativitatis Choral! We are very excited to bring back our annual concert after getting through the past few years. Although we were able to accomplish a lot through non traditional lessons online - our students missed out on learning through live performances. It is a very important part of #musiceducation and you the audience plays an important role in this project. Looking forward to Dec 18th concert.
