Music For Young Children (MYC) Endorsement


Endorsement
Pianist Angela Hewitt, who agreed to be the Honorary Patron of Music for Young Children® in 2000, continues to captivate and charm audiences around the world with her musicianship and virtuosity. Since her triumph in the 1985 Toronto International Bach Piano Competition, Miss Hewitt has been hailed as "the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time" (The Guardian, London, 2001).

The Music for Young Children® program has to be counted as the dominant force in the musical training of young children in Canada today.
Many of the new students arriving each year in my studio are graduates of Music for Young Children. They arrive superbly prepared and well motivated for further study.
MYC teachers have found the right balance. They successfully blend the pleasure and joy of music making with the rigour of a well-crafted pedagogical progression.
