2012 Student Recital

I am pleased to announce the 2012 Student Recital, which will take place on Sunday, June 3 at 4:30 pm at Steinway Pianos Calgary. The event will be held in tandem with Adelheid Mancila Studio.

The recital will give students the opportunity to perform one of the pieces they have been preparing this year in a public setting. All students are asked to attend, even if they have decided to not play. There will be an array of music from jazz to classical, and instruments will include piano, clarinet, and saxophone.

This event will be free of charge for students, families, friends, and all others who would like to attend. Dress for students is semi-formal. We would ask that you please come at least 5 minutes early, and that you stay for the entire event, no matter when your child plays in the program. Some cookies and refreshments will be provided afterwards and there will be plenty of time to ask questions and have a look around!

Date: June 3, 2012 (Sunday)

Time: 4:30 PM (1-1.5 Hours)

Location: Steinway Pianos of Calgary (click here for address)

PS: The hall has been generously provided by Steinway Pianos of Calgary. If you are currently considering the purchase of a new piano, please check out their fantastic selection before or after the recital, and direct any questions you may have to their friendly staff members.

2012 Student Masterclass

I am happy to announce the 2012 Student Masterclass, which will take place on May 5, 2012 and be in collaboration with piano students from Adelheid Mancila Studio.

A masterclass is an event where a music studio’s students perform one at a time for their fellow students and teachers.

For those who are unfamiliar with the term, a masterclass is an event where a music studio’s students perform one at a time for their fellow students and teachers. The performance is then discussed, constructively criticized, and then re-performed with the new musical ideas in mind. Don’t be intimidated, though. A masterclass should be fun and productive. Plus, there is no better way to refine one’s playing skills and prepare for RCM exams (and the 2012 Student Recital!) than to get up on stage and do the real thing!

The masterclass will last for around 1.5 hours and will include:

  • Performances by all students in attendance
  • An ear-training session followed by a fun pop quiz
  • A chance to meet other music students
  • Some snacks and refreshments after the event

Please note that this event is intended for students ONLY. Parents are welcome to attend if absolutely necessary, but are asked to please stay in the waiting area during the performances.

Full details will not be made public here, but if you are interested, please inquire at your next lesson.
