Student's Corner - Andrej Dimitrioski!
We are delighted to recognize the outstanding dedication and hard work of one of our exceptional students, Andrej Dimitrioski.
Andrej Dimitrioski has been a dedicated student at the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy since February 2018. Over the years, he has consistently demonstrated a remarkable commitment to his musical journey, particularly in his piano studies.
Andrej’s relentless efforts have yielded outstanding results, and we owe a great deal of gratitude to his teacher for guiding and nurturing his talent.
Currently, Andrej is making strides in his musical endeavors, reaching an impressive level 6 in the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) program. This accomplishment is a testament to his perseverance and unwavering dedication. His teacher Ms Lesya, as well as those who have had the privilege of witnessing his progress, agree that Andrej is excelling beyond expectations for someone of his age.
One of Andrej’s recent milestones is his remarkable achievement in passing the Theory exam for RCM Level 5 with a perfect score of 100. This achievement not only showcases his deep understanding of music theory but also reflects his commitment to excellence in all aspects of his musical education.
We applaud Andrej Dimitrioski for his remarkable achievements, his ongoing commitment to his craft, and his dedication to becoming the best musician he can be. His journey is an inspiration to us all, and we look forward to witnessing his continued growth and success in the world of music.
Congratulations, Andrej! Your hard work and passion for music are truly commendable, and we are immensely proud to have you as a student at the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy.
Student of The Month
Emma C!
We’re thrilled to share that our Student of the Month for August 2023 is Emma C.! Emma embarked on her flute-learning journey just nine months ago and has already made remarkable progress. Let’s hear what Mr. Andre, Emma’s teacher, has to say about her impressive accomplishments:
“At only 9 years old, Emma started playing the flute nine months ago. Unlike other students, her age, the flute is her primary instrument, so she has also learned to read musical notation while learning one of the instruments with the hardest initial difficulty. Emma plays with an effortlessly clear tone, even in the extreme high and low ranges of the flute, and her reading gets more fluent with each lesson. Emma’s performance debut with MFAA was as part of a flute quartet in the June 2023 recital, and we look forward to hearing her solo and duet debuts in the December 2023 recital.” – Mr. Andre
We also asked Emma a few questions. Here are her answers
What instrument(s) do you play? – Flute
How long have you been taking lessons? – 9 months
What is your favourite song to play? – My very first song I performed at the recital
What is your favourite food? – Pizza
What is your favourite thing you’ve learned recently in class? – Major scales
What is your favourite colour? – Pink
Congratulations, Emma! Your achievement fills us with immense pride, and we’re eagerly anticipating what remarkable feats you’ll accomplish next!
