What an unexpected treat! Travelling on Via Rail to Halifax we had the pleasure of hearing a concert by duo Mad For Joy. They played everything from Neil Young to Feist including folk, jazz, railroad songs and Canadian artists. Fine musicians, very entertaining and personable. Check them out at www.madforjoy.ca

The Royal Conservatory would like to challenge its participants from across North America to build a video catalogue of pieces in the Celebration Series®, 2015 Edition. Performers are invited to submit videos of themselves playing a piece from the new series. Submit your video for a chance to be featured on the Royal Conservatory’s website and social media channels!

Stay tuned for your chance to submit, coming soon.

Thank you to The Leading Note for facilitating an awesome workshop yesterday morning in association with the RCM on their new Celebration Series! Dr. Kent McWilliams came all the way from Minnesota to present the information. He was very entertaining and informative and passed along some great teaching tips. I am excited to work with the new syllabus which comes into effect September 2015. leadingnote.com
