From Practice to Performance – Join Our Chamber Strings Group

Chamber group promo

If you or your child loves playing in a group setting and is looking for a meaningful musical experience beyond solo lessons, we’d love to invite you to join the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy Chamber Strings Group for our upcoming May–August semester.

This program is designed for violin, viola, and cello students who already have some playing experience and are ready to take the next step into ensemble performance, collaboration, and musical growth.

🎻 What Makes Our Chamber Strings Group Special?

Our Chamber Strings program has been a core part of MFAA for several years and continues to grow in both quality and reputation. Under the guidance of our experienced faculty, students develop:

Ensemble skills and musical listening
Confidence performing with others
Stronger rhythm, timing, and musical expression
A deeper understanding of orchestral repertoire

Many of our alumni have gone on to join respected ensembles, including the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra and other orchestral groups across the GTA.

🎶 Performance Opportunities

Students in the Chamber Strings Group enjoy multiple exciting performance opportunities throughout the year:

Semi-annual recitals at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga
Annual Faculty Concert at the Living Arts Centre, where students collaborate and perform alongside our MFAA teachers
Community performances at events like the Golden Kids Festival

These experiences give students the chance to perform on a professional stage, work with other musicians, and build real confidence as performers.

📅 Program Details

Semester: May – August
Schedule: Once a week (Saturdays)
Instruments: Violin, Viola, Cello
Level: Students with prior experience or ensemble background

NEW Program at MFAA: Spotlight Singers

MFAA Spotlight Singers ver 1

We are excited to introduce a new program at the Academy — MFAA Spotlight Singers.

This small group program is designed for students who enjoy singing and would like to experience performing as part of a group. While private lessons focus on individual development, Spotlight Singers gives students the opportunity to sing together, explore vocal harmony, and build confidence in a supportive setting.

The program will incorporate elements of vocal harmony, musical theatre expression, and light stage movement, creating a fun and engaging group experience for students.

Students in MFAA Spotlight Singers will work on:

• Singing in harmony

• Ensemble listening and blending

• Stage presence and expression

• Musical theatre-style performance

You do not need to be a current vocal student to join. This program is open to any student who would like to explore group singing and perform in a fun, collaborative environment.

We are excited to have Ms. Emily, one of our vocal instructors, leading this program. Emily has been teaching vocal lessons at MFAA and brings both performance experience and a passion for working with students.

“Hello everyone! I am so beyond excited to share my love of vocal ensemble singing with students within the MFAA community. As someone who has performed in choirs and vocal ensembles in many musical theatre productions myself, I know how beneficial and uplifting the experience of singing together can truly be. I am so excited to not only teach the skills of harmony, but to promote an encouraging environment for singers to uplift each other through song.” — Ms. Emily

The program will follow a semester-based structure, similar to our Chamber Strings group:

• September – December

• January – April

• May – August

Our first Spotlight Singers semester will begin in May.

Classes will run on Thursdays, with two small groups:

6:30 – 7:30 PM

7:30 – 8:30 PM

Groups will be kept small to ensure students receive individual attention while enjoying the experience of singing together.

More details about registration and scheduling will be shared soon. Stay tuned.

Celebrating Our Students’ RCM Exam Success! 🎶✨

As we begin the new year, we are excited to celebrate the first RCM exam session and the wonderful achievements of our students at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy. Their results are a fantastic way to start the year and reflect the dedication and hard work they have put into their musical studies.

The Royal Conservatory of Music program is a highly respected and comprehensive curriculum that helps students develop strong technical skills, musical expression, and a deeper understanding of their instrument. Preparing for these exams requires focus, perseverance, and consistent guidance, and our students truly rose to the challenge. We are incredibly proud of their commitment and the progress they continue to make on their musical journey.

We are excited to recognize the following outstanding results from this recent exam session:

🎹 Vidhur N. – Piano, RCM Level 2 – 87% First Class Honours

Teacher: Ms. Olivia

🎹 Lukas B. – Piano, RCM Level 3 – 82% First Class Honours

Teacher: Ms. Lesya

🎹 Tanishi K. – Piano, RCM Level 6 – 77% Honours

Teacher: Ms. Mariana

These results reflect not only the students’ hard work but also the dedication of our teachers and the ongoing support from families. RCM exams challenge students to refine their technique, develop musical confidence, and grow as well-rounded musicians, important milestones on their musical journey.

🎉 Congratulations to all our students on their achievements!

We are incredibly proud of you and look forward to seeing how your musical journey continues in the new year.
