Dear Parents, Student and Guardian,
Welcome back! May the celebration of the New Year brings hope, joy and peace to all.
I am very enthusiastic to come back and reverberate once more the academy with beautiful music. I would say, despite what we all went through, the students have accomplished enough for us to be proud of their achievements at the academy, at school and the community.
With the aim at encouraging and inspiring the students to practice, we will continue to distribute certificates to deserving students who have put in consistent effort over the whole term, both in practical and theory. This has been quite effective. If you want to encourage your children to practice, perhaps the way to do it is, remind them of the sticker and yes, this will also be your way of checking if your child did well at the lesson. Check their sticker pad.
We are encouraging our students who have achieved (in the field of music) in any way, at school, church or community to come forward as we want you to share this glory with the others. A photo of your performance submitted at the office is most appreciated. If you are a member of the school orchestra, school band or church accompanist, send us a photo.
A once a month or quarterly mini concert at home? Yes, it’s a way of encouraging your child to perform and be better at what they do. This was what I experienced with my parents. Take note that children listen and observe intently and your attitude and interest in their musical activities can either inspire or discourage them. So how about a few minutes of your time to musically bond with your child?
Kindly visit our website on www.tmaauckland.com for the updated 2021 Activities. Do mark in your diaries the dates set for a number of special events especially the Annual Concert date.
Lastly, I am most grateful to those who have been supporting the academy over the years, most especially for your kind understanding and consideration last year. I look forward to seeing you soon.
