Remembering Our Mayor, Friend, Supporter, Beautiful Human Being Hazel McCallion
We cherish our family's and Clarkson Piano's decades-long friendship with our beloved mayor, Hazel McCallion. As newcomers to Canada, we have been honoured to offer our support to and participate in many incredible initiatives by Mayor McCallion. Boris' first performance at The City Hall goes back to 1994, a few months after arriving in Canada, for a fundraiser/charity dear to the Mayor's heart - Alzheimer's Society of Peel. Since then, we have enthusiastically participated in many events. From opening ceremonies of Alzheimer Society's Day Centers, numerous Mayor's Levees, Trillium Health Partners' Events, City Hall Events, Mayor's Birthday Celebrations, and many more...
Everything in our lives is connected to the piano. From our earliest childhood to today. The piano is what connected the two of us, too. 33 years ago. The piano study was an important building block of the upbringing of our children, now adults with multiple Academic credentials that we are so proud of!
Boris and I feel very fortunate to have studied with fascinating, passionate educators and artists. In addition, this beautiful piano and music life journey has connected us with a long list of World-renowned artists and educators providing invaluable, just incredible additional input and inspiration.
We very much enjoy sharing it all with our amazing students, each having unique potential waiting to be discovered! Teaching is an enjoyable exchange, an opportunity for providing positive input and encouragement, helping students develop musical freedom, pride and appreciation for this gorgeous gift of music-making that we are fortunate to enjoy and share.
Our Studio setting and atmosphere reflects our love for what we do, wishing to create an inspiring, motivating music-learning environment. Thank you for being a part of it all!
Much more is ahead - looking forward to continuing our piano-loving journey with you - Welcome to Clarkson Piano!
Why We Offer Supervised Practice Lessons?
As teacher, I heard this many times: "I love piano. I like to come to this piano studio. I really like (my teacher) you, I even like most of my pieces...but I don't like to practice...!".
My answer is: The truth is almost no student loves to practice...until they learn HOW TO practice and turn the unpleasant chore into rewarding accomplishment!
Our Supervised practice lessons program does much more than helping student play the songs better and better. This program introduces and strengthens an array of learning strategies, explains the role of concentration, accuracy, frequency, the importance of listening and more. We also highlight such things as the song's structure in all, uncovering how in much less time more could be done.
Essentially, we teach that practice of piano involves the mind much more than the fingers: Contact me to see how!
