Another All Gold Competition 🥇💛
One more BCCM piano competition in the books, and every performance was rewarded with Gold. Seeing months of hard work come to life on stage is always the most rewarding part. Congratulations to all my amazing students! 🤩🎹
Summer can officially start. ☀️🎹

Four years old. Two Golds. One very proud teacher. 🏆🎹
Another successful Sea to Sky International Piano Festival and my youngest stars, both just four years old, earned Gold Awards along with invitations to the Winners’ Recital and Carnegie Hall.
Beyond proud. 🤩🙏🏻

What a wonderful Summer Recital. 🎹☀️

I couldn’t be more proud of all my students for their hard work and beautiful performances. Thank you to all the parents for your endless support and for making this day so special.

Thank you as well to @lifewithkatiey for being there on behalf of Tom Lee Music and for supporting our young musicians.

So excited for everything that lies ahead for these talented young musicians. ❤️🎶

Behind every polished performance are dozens of tiny corrections, patient practice sessions, and moments like these. 🎹

Join us for our Summer Recital: 📅 Saturday, June 13, 3:00 PM 📍 Tom Lee Richmond Music Experience Centre, 12180 Riverside Way, Richmond

Carnegie Hall and First Place 🏆🎹
Huge congratulations to Alexandra for not only performing on one of the world’s most iconic stages, but truly owning it.
After winning First Place in the First Round of the Little Mozart International Piano Festival, Alexandra was invited to New York to compete in the Second Round at Carnegie Hall, where she once again earned First Place.
So incredibly proud of this little superstar and all the hard work, dedication, and heart she brought to the stage ✨

Clara (8) just had her 3rd performance at Carnegie Hall in New York, turning it into a beautiful annual tradition 🎹✨

After winning a Gold Award at the Sea to Sky International Piano Festival with Chopin’s Nocturne No. 21 in C Minor, she was invited to perform at the Winners Recital, where she chose to play Toccata Op. 8 No. 1, a piece that also brought her another Gold at the North Shore Piano Festival.

Proud is an understatement 🤍

Alexandra (8) is a multiple gold award winner and with less than two years of piano study, she has added another beautiful achievement to her growing journey, earning Gold in the Repertoire Class at the North Shore Music Festival.

She performed Carl Czerny’s Etude Op. 599, No. 75, a melodic Moderato study that develops finger independence and evenness of touch, with delicate embellishments, scale like passages, rhythmic shifts and ornaments woven throughout.
Alexandra captured all of these elements with elegance and confidence, bringing clarity and musicality to every phrase.

Mega is an inspiring adult student who studied piano for 3 years as a child and returned to lessons nearly 20 years later. With her dedication and natural musicality, she was ready to perform after only six months of study.

She presented The Spruce by Jean Sibelius (RCM Level 8) at both the Studio Recital and the North Shore Piano Festival, where she earned a Silver Award.

This beautiful miniature is celebrated for its lyrical character and vivid nature imagery. The Lento section unfolds with a melancholic, singing melody, while the Risoluto passage introduces dramatic arpeggiated broken chords, capturing the strength and steadfast presence of the spruce tree.

Liam turned 4 just two months ago, and he is already a Gold Award winner, the youngest student at the North Shore Music Festival.

He performed Thunderstorm by Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee, a piece from the RCM Preparatory A level. Written in an improvisational style, the piece invites students to “create their own storm” using specific musical elements and imagination.

At such a young age, Liam demonstrated an impressive range of expression and piano tone, along with strong musical pacing, gradually building speed and volume to vividly capture the feeling of a storm gathering strength.

Clara (8) is a multiple gold award winner, and this time she added another beautiful achievement, earning Gold and the highest score in Levels 7, 8, and 9 for Technical Study. 🏆🎹

She performed Toccatina, Op. 8 No. 1 by the Russian Romantic composer Samuel Maykapar. The piece is known for its light, precise, and rapid finger work, filled with vivacious energy, rhythmic momentum, and a playful melodic character. Clara captured all of these qualities with elegance and confidence, bringing both clarity and charm to the performance.

Not even two years after starting piano, Noa has already earned a Trophy in the 8 years and under category at the North Shore Piano Festival. 🏆🎹

She performed Gallactica by Dennis Alexander, a piece full of driving energy and modern character, where the real challenge is shaping the singing left hand melody while keeping the right hand triplets flowing smoothly and connected.
Moments like this are why practice, growth, confidence, and music coming alive on stage 🎶✨

Hard work, courage, and music coming together at the Winners Recital of North Shore Piano Festival.
My heart is full of pride and gratitude. 🎹🏆💕

How Music Lessons Improve Your Child’s Brain Development and Learning Skills: 7 Powerful Benefits Every Parent Should Know

Why Music Lessons Matter More Than You Think Many parents enroll their children in music lessons to help them learn an instrument or explore creativity. However, research shows that music education does far more than teach notes and rhythm. Music lessons play a vital role in brain development and learning skills, especially during early childhood and the elementary years. From improving memory and concentration to strengthening language and math abilities, structured music ed
