New Season Updates

It has been a busy start so far. I am very happy to see most of my students back and a few new students. A few old students left because of moving home. I referred them to other teacher in their area. Everything is getting along smoothly.

After a busy start for a month, 3 students are preparing their repertoires for SPG music festival this year and will compete in November. Then, we will be preparing our Christmas Recital at Ellesmere United Church at Burnaby Mountain in December. It is a fun recital. To those beginners, it will be their 1st recital. I will let them choose their recital pieces after Halloween.

About myself, I am busy helping the SPG festival and as usual, as a co-chair position and Honour Recital coordinator. In early October, I did a piano performance at an elderly home, playing some Chinese folk songs and some classical music including Chopin's Nocturne and Bach's music. It was a 45 minutes performance and all of them enjoyed it. The coordinator there received some good feedback. It was my pleasure to be there and I really enjoyed doing it. I hope next time I can play some duet pieces with other teachers there.
