Congratulations to Maya!

A huge congratulations to Maya for achieving First Class Honours with Distinction (91%) in her Conservatory Canada contemporary idioms exam last week!

Maya has worked incredibly hard over the last year, including continuing lessons over the summer, and her efforts paid off handsomely! Very few students achieve a First Class Honours with Distinction mark - mastering all the right notes and rhythms only gets you 80%. So 91% is a big accomplishment!

Hey everyone,

Thanks to everyone who voted in the YouTube Recital this week! Keep the votes coming, I'll be announcing the winners soon! I was going to announce them this Friday, but I've decided to give everyone one more weekend to watch the recital and get their votes in, so the winners will be announced next Monday instead.

A big congrats to Charles and Abby for their First Class Honors performances of "Mr. Blue Sky" and "The Nightingale", respectively, at the 2022 Highwood Festival. Their moms were kind enough to record their performances and send me the videos, so if you're interested be sure to check them out below!

 


Have a great week!

Kara
