Celebrating the Canadian National Conservatory of Music’s 20th Anniversary with several fellow examiners and founder Debra Wanless.
As we each spoke of what we value about CNCM, common themes emerged including: fostering community among students, examiners, and Canadian composers; building well-rounded musicians; and igniting a wealth of new Canadian piano compositions. It is a privilege to serve as an examiner with CNCM, CONGRATULATIONS!

Examining in Montreal with CNCM
Well over a hundred pieces were performed at Canadian National Conservatory of Music performance exams in Montreal today. At one point I caught myself writing "you handeled with confidence". Handel-ed..! One tired and very happy examiner. Well done everyone.
