When everything closed down in Toronto due to COVID-19, piano lessons went online, and so did year-end concerts. One of my students, who was taking lessons with me through the University of Toronto’s Piano Pedagogy Program opted for a more individual approach to sharing music. She recorded the tracks and I posted it on my studio’s SoundCloud feed. It’s particularly enjoyable for me to hear her progress, as I’ve been working with her since she was 7 years old and she’s now in her last year of high school!
