Students
The scientific evidence regarding the benefits of
music instruction to young children is abundant and compelling. There are strong connections between music instruction and higher test scores,
grade point averages, success in college.
Music
training helps develop the child’s cognitive and communication skills, fine-tunes the workings of the
brain and forms solid work habits through
practice. The children learn better organizational skills and a sense of pride, accomplishment and competition. They are
exposed at a young age to enriching classical music that
they might not otherwise get to hear and enjoy.
Debut Piano Studio's students achieve top ratings
in RCM's piano examinations in Toronto and win prizes in music festivals. Some of the piano
studio's alumni went to further accomplishments: scholarships from the Glenn Gould School of Music, the Ben
Steinberg Musical Legacy Award and appearances with symphony orchestras in
Greater Toronto Area.
