Interesting Instruments: The Clarinet

Rebecca and Zara are back with more interesting instruments! This week we are learning all about the clarinet. And no one is better to give us the ins and outs of this member of the woodwind family (and a few of its cousins) than Kelly Sanchuk. Kelly is a multi-instrumentalist hailing from Saskatchewan. She is also one of The Lane School of Music’s fabulous instructors. She teaches us all about reeds, when kids can start clarinet lessons and how learning recorder at school is setting you up to be a skilled woodwind player.  Book a free trial lesson: www.laneschoolofmusic.com/trial

The Hockey Sweater

The Hockey Sweater is a Canadian children’s book by Roch Carrier. It tells the story of a boy in Quebec who gets the wrong jersey in the mail and is forced to play hockey with a group of Montreal Canadian’s fans, while repping the Toronto Maple Leafs. In February, The Toronto Symphony will be presenting this book in concert form. How cool is that? The conductor of this show, Trevor Wilson is here to tell us all about this marriage of sports and classical music. We chat about why this story resonates with Canadians, how a book becomes a concert and what to expect when you watch this musical hockey match on February 5th.   Buy tickets for The Hockey Sweater: https://www.tso.ca/concerts-and-events/events/the-hockey-sweater/ Learn more about Trevor: https://trevorwilsonconductor.com/about/ Watch The Hockey Sweater short film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hka6mVkszq0

Soccer vs. Music Lessons

In this episode Zara steps down from hosting duties to be a KQTM guest! She is joined by soccer teammate and Lane School of Music student Norah to compare playing sports and taking music lessons. From an outside perspective they may seem to have no connection. But, both involve winning, practicing, scoring, building skills and teamwork.

The Kids Of Carmen

If you’re in Toronto between October 14th and November 4th, head over to The Four Seasons Centre to see the Canadian Opera Company’s production of Carmen by Georges Bizet! Carmen is one of the most well-known and commonly performed operas in the world. It is a tragic love story, full of earworms and a very energetic children’s chorus. In this episode Rebecca goes solo to interview two members of the children’s chorus Lee and Leo. These young singers are members of the Canadian Children’s Opera Company and take centre stage in this new COC production.   Learn more about the CCOC: https://www.canadianchildrensopera.com https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xNzAzJmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD04MTcwJmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cHMlMjUzQSUyNTJGJTI1MkZ3d3cuY2FuYWRpYW5jaGlsZHJlbnNvcGVyYS5jb20maGFzaD1hY2M2ZmQ5ZmQ3ZjQ2MzQ5MjEyMjk0MzE0MGNhMmUyZGRkODQzZGQwZTcyMWFhYTRlYmQ0YWFlNzkzYjNlOGQz Get tickets to see the COCs production of Carmen: https://www.coc.ca/productions/23489 https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xNzAzJmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD04MTcxJmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cHMlMjUzQSUyNTJGJTI1MkZ3d3cuY29jLmNhJTI1MkZwcm9kdWN0aW9ucyUyNTJGMjM0ODkmaGFzaD1hYWZkNDg5ZDkxMzhhNTFhYzY2MDQzYTYzY2JkNTk1MzAwODZhZjM5NWU5ZWI0MDM2OGFjNWY1MzZlYWYyMDcz

Opera’s Rising Star

We often think opera singing is for grown-ups only. It requires advanced technical skills and a deep understanding of music and languages. But did you know there have been tons of roles written for children? Very famous examples are the Three Spirits from Mozart’s The Magic Flute. The Spirits, played by children, help guide the main character, Tamino, on his quest to save the princess. Nine-year-old singer, pianist and mega opera fan Emma Moreau recently sang the First Spirit with the Canadian Opera Company. Emma shares her experience working with professional opera singers, upcoming auditions, and sings the Spirit’s solo for us. Watch out for her name in lights! Learn more about the COCs production of The Magic Flute: https://www.coc.ca/productions/23090 https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMzY0JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD02MTkwJmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cHMlMjUzQSUyNTJGJTI1MkZ3d3cuY29jLmNhJTI1MkZwcm9kdWN0aW9ucyUyNTJGMjMwOTAmaGFzaD0zMGI2YWIwZTI4N2I1MDg5Mjg3MzNlMjY1ZThlZDkzNzk1ZGIzYjY0ZWE5ZGI4M2UxZGE0MDI1OTQ4YmYyZjM5

Musical Terms Trivia Show 2.0

The Musical Terms Trivia Show is back for a second round! This time it’s a violinist party. Rebecca and Zara are joined by Siobhan and Corinne to give fresh definitions to four musical terms. These Lane School of Music students are experts when it comes to following musical directions. They know when to cut violin strings, how to whistle a song from your soul, and how to point a pink piano with their pinky while drinking pink lemonade. If you aren’t sure which terms these definitions belong to, you better get listening!   Book a free trial lesson: http://www.laneschoolofmusic.com/trial https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMjY1JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD01NjMyJmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cCUyNTNBJTI1MkYlMjUyRnd3dy5sYW5lc2Nob29sb2ZtdXNpYy5jb20lMjUyRnRyaWFsJmhhc2g9N2NhYTI2ZTA1ZjQ5NzU4ZjA0YTYwOWIxZTkwODJiM2Q1NzU0MWQwYjFhZDhkZGFjYjY0ZTMyNGE2ZmM5MmU5MA==

The Show Must Go On

You know the saying the show must go on? No matter what happens backstage or onstage, musicians must present their performance to the expectant audience. While events that could de-rail a performance are, for most musicians, just a scary thought that never comes to fruition; Lane School of Music violin student Brooksley experienced this firsthand. Moments before her recital performance, one of her violin strings snapped! With some quick thinking and very impressive performing skills, she still managed to serenade the audience without anyone knowing what was happening behind the scenes. Brooksley shares the whole story of what happened that day and gives a redemption performance of Etude.

Sizing Up

Kids grow quickly, but unfortunately their instruments will always stay the same size. There comes a point when your mini musician isn’t so mini anymore and will have to say goodbye to their best musical friend. This is what happened to two of the Lane children just a few weeks ago. Zara has a new violin named Kevin or Bob (name pending) and Charles is now playing the brother of his former cello, Chenry II.  Rebecca and Zara have tips on how to make the breakup a little easier, the signs that your child needs to upsize, and what to expect when adjusting to a larger instrument.   Visit The Sound Post: http://www.thesoundpost.com https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMjY1JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD01NjMxJmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cCUyNTNBJTI1MkYlMjUyRnd3dy50aGVzb3VuZHBvc3QuY29tJmhhc2g9ZTRkYmVjZWYyNjBmZTJkNzU3NjUyMWQ4ZTdkNjk0NDgzZjYyYjgwOWZmOGRlZTQ4OGFlMWZjOWMyMzg4MDhlMQ== Book a free trial lesson: http://www.laneschoolofmusic.com/trial https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMjY1JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD01NjMyJmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cCUyNTNBJTI1MkYlMjUyRnd3dy5sYW5lc2Nob29sb2ZtdXNpYy5jb20lMjUyRnRyaWFsJmhhc2g9N2NhYTI2ZTA1ZjQ5NzU4ZjA0YTYwOWIxZTkwODJiM2Q1NzU0MWQwYjFhZDhkZGFjYjY0ZTMyNGE2ZmM5MmU5MA==

Olivia's Operatic Adventure

Have you ever met an opera singing bassoonist? Rebecca and Zara have, and she’s only nine years old! Olivia Pady is a quint (mini bassoon) player and member of the Canadian Children’s Opera Company’s principal chorus. The CCOC works in collaboration with the Canadian Opera Company, allowing its young members to perform in professional operatic productions. Olivia recently sang the role of Marcel in the Canadian Opera Company’s production of Fantasma, composed by Ian Cusson. In this episode, she shares her favourite part of the rehearsal process, what it’s like working with a professional opera company, and what happens when your veil doesn’t fit quite right. Oh!

O Mistress Moon

Where do you find musical inspiration? For artists, simply looking up to the sky can stimulate the creative juices. Many musicians have been inspired by birds, rainbows, stars and the sun. For Halifax based-pianist Jennifer King, her musical inspiration comes from the moon. Jennifer has released two solo piano albums O Mistress Moon and O Mistress Moon: Canadian Edition. Both feature pieces that have a relationship to the environment, specifically the moon, space and nighttime. She chats about choosing music for the albums, working with composers, and what it means to be both a collaborative and solo pianist.   Twilight Hour Animation: https://youtu.be/fOjVxHBMbsw LEARN MORE ABOUT JENNIFER: Website: https://www.jenniferkingpiano.com/ Instagram: @jenniferkingpiano Facebook: Jennifer King Piano Follow her on Spotify and YouTube: Jennifer King Piano

Zara's Operas

Writing and producing an opera is no small feat. It marries the art of music and theatre, so it’s nothing without a gripping storyline! In this episode, Zara is re-writing the plots to three popular operas, based their title, main characters and a single plot point. The first, is the story of a prince named Tamino who turns the world into cheese. The second, a love story about an evil boy who does karate. And finally, a composer and his friends making music on a piano named Tenor.   Highlights from each Opera: Die Zauberflöte: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuBeBjqKSGQ https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMDc5JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD00NTA0JmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cHMlMjUzQSUyNTJGJTI1MkZ3d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20lMjUyRndhdGNoJTI1M0Z2JTI1M0RZdUJlQmpxS1NHUSZoYXNoPTIwNTNkMzM1ZDE3ZTZjNDAyZjEzNTNhNDdlZTZkOTdiMWZiMTAxMDc2ODAwYjAwODA2NjU4YjM0MGNjOTBhZWQ= LEnfant et les Sortilèges: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWPpsMPLgrY https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMDc5JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD00NTA1JmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cHMlMjUzQSUyNTJGJTI1MkZ3d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20lMjUyRndhdGNoJTI1M0Z2JTI1M0RZV1Bwc01QTGdyWSZoYXNoPTYwMjYxZDk3MTg1OTZiNGRmZDBmODRmNDcyMWUxM2E5ZDBmOTU2NzJkYjViMGZjMjk4M2VlMmE1NGI2ZDJlYWI= Ariadne auf Naxos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_xRW4FQGQM https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMDc5JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD00NTA2JmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cHMlMjUzQSUyNTJGJTI1MkZ3d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20lMjUyRndhdGNoJTI1M0Z2JTI1M0RsX3hSVzRGUUdRTSZoYXNoPTBiMmY5NWQ1MzY0OTBjZGZhYzZhZDdkNTAxMTkwMGYyYzgwYmQ0MGU1N2Q3ZTg4ZDQwMGM1NzIyZjQ1YjNiYmU=

Mother Daughter Duo

Rebecca and Zara are joined by another mother-daughter musical duo in this week’s episode! Patricia Ahern is a baroque violinist who plays with the world-renowned, Toronto based orchestra, Tafelmusik. Her daughter, Liliana Mahave, is a music major in the Claude Watson Arts Program at Earl Haig Secondary School and is already making a name for herself as a composer. Liliana shares her compositional process from early childhood to now. (She has come a long way from writing piano pieces about elephants and caterpillars!) While Patricia gives advice to all the musicians raising musicians. Liliana’s award-winning composition for piano trio, Baile Diabólica de Tontín will be premiered by the Bedford Trio on March 19th, tickets are available here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/immersed-tickets-184993489507 https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMDc5JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD00NDk0JmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cHMlMjUzQSUyNTJGJTI1MkZ3d3cuZXZlbnRicml0ZS5jYSUyNTJGZSUyNTJGaW1tZXJzZWQtdGlja2V0cy0xODQ5OTM0ODk1MDcmaGFzaD1kYmVkODFkOTJmOTU3NmQ0M2E3N2RkNGNhZDNlM2E5ZTk5YmZlZjk3MDJhOTQ1YjUzM2Y3MWFmZjcxMGE2YjU5 Watch Patricia and Liliana play together (video begins at 20:17): https://youtu.be/OD7TwI19LEg?t=1217 https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD0xMDc5JmRhdGElNUJldmVudF90eXBlJTVEPWNsaWNrLWxpbmsmZGF0YSU1Qm9iamVjdF9pZCU1RD00NDk1JmRhdGElNUJ1cmwlNUQ9aHR0cHMlMjUzQSUyNTJGJTI1MkZ5b3V0dS5iZSUyNTJGT0Q3VHdJMTlMRWclMjUzRnQlMjUzRDEyMTcmaGFzaD01ZDIxYjBlYzA4ZTA3MzU0ODhiYmM0YTY2NjIwMDhmMTk4N2ViYjc3NzA5NGQ0NDJjOWRkOGRkOTc2ZWE2YzNm

The Bedford Trio

Four-year-old Jialiang Zhu just wanted a piece of birthday cake and ended up with a piano. It was a happy accident though! Jialiang is now a professional pianist based in Toronto and is the only pianist in her piano trio, The Bedford Trio. Don’t worry, she clears up that confusion for us! She shares with us how the trio formed, what kind of music they play and gives some practice tricks for all the budding pianists out there. The Bedford Trio is performing the concert “Immersed” on March 19th at 8:00 pm at Ernst Balmer Studio. Tickets can be purchased here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/immersed-tickets-184993489507 Watch The Bedford Trio play Katharine Petkovskis 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGNCpHRK8S8 LEARN MORE ABOUT JIALIANG: WEBSITE: https://www.jialiangpiano.com https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD05NjcmZGF0YSU1QmV2ZW50X3R5cGUlNUQ9Y2xpY2stbGluayZkYXRhJTVCb2JqZWN0X2lkJTVEPTM5ODcmZGF0YSU1QnVybCU1RD1odHRwcyUyNTNBJTI1MkYlMjUyRnd3dy5qaWFsaWFuZ3BpYW5vLmNvbSZoYXNoPWZiODFlNzRmZWQzNWNhZGFmMzY2NzlkY2JkYjI5NzU1YTg2N2NiZWUyOTc2Y2U4ODhiYzI1YWI2NDRmZDhmM2Y= BE SURE TO CHECK OUT HER LECTURE RECITAL ON CHINESE ART SONG: https://www.jialiangpiano.com/recordings https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD05NjcmZGF0YSU1QmV2ZW50X3R5cGUlNUQ9Y2xpY2stbGluayZkYXRhJTVCb2JqZWN0X2lkJTVEPTM5ODgmZGF0YSU1QnVybCU1RD1odHRwcyUyNTNBJTI1MkYlMjUyRnd3dy5qaWFsaWFuZ3BpYW5vLmNvbSUyNTJGcmVjb3JkaW5ncyZoYXNoPWIxNzA3ZGViNjVjZTRhZDU2YjExZDNjNzQ2Mjg5OTA5MzdhNjdhN2Q0YWRiZGEwYTdhMTUyMzg0NGNhYjg5ZmY= INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/jialiangzhu_arts/ https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD05NjcmZGF0YSU1QmV2ZW50X3R5cGUlNUQ9Y2xpY2stbGluayZkYXRhJTVCb2JqZWN0X2lkJTVEPTM5ODkmZGF0YSU1QnVybCU1RD1odHRwcyUyNTNBJTI1MkYlMjUyRnd3dy5pbnN0YWdyYW0uY29tJTI1MkZqaWFsaWFuZ3podV9hcnRzJTI1MkYmaGFzaD0xZDBjZDIxOGM5ZjljY2QwYzUxNDBlYzU5MTZiMGJjMmVlOTQ1NDEyY2EyMmJlZTg3MWRjNzVhOGI0ZDVjNGYz LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BEDFORD TRIO: WEBSITE: http://www.bedfordtrio.com https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD05NjcmZGF0YSU1QmV2ZW50X3R5cGUlNUQ9Y2xpY2stbGluayZkYXRhJTVCb2JqZWN0X2lkJTVEPTM5OTAmZGF0YSU1QnVybCU1RD1odHRwJTI1M0ElMjUyRiUyNTJGd3d3LmJlZGZvcmR0cmlvLmNvbSUyNTJGJmhhc2g9MTQzNmIzNGMzNzMzODdiNzYxZDZlMzEzMzg2YWMwZjU3OWRiNmNlYmM0NjY4MTRjMzAxY2E4MTJjYWYzNzJiOA== INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bedford_trio/ https://theultimatecreative.com/wp-json/wp-mail-smtp/v1/e/ZGF0YSU1QmVtYWlsX2xvZ19pZCU1RD05NjcmZGF0YSU1QmV2ZW50X3R5cGUlNUQ9Y2xpY2stbGluayZkYXRhJTVCb2JqZWN0X2lkJTVEPTM5OTEmZGF0YSU1QnVybCU1RD1odHRwcyUyNTNBJTI1MkYlMjUyRnd3dy5pbnN0YWdyYW0uY29tJTI1MkZiZWRmb3JkX3RyaW8lMjUyRiZoYXNoPWUzYWI1MTQwZTQ3MDBhMGRkZjFhZDI3YWY3NzZlN2M3MzNhYmFjMTIwM2RlZmUyYzllZjc2Yjk4MmEwODJkOWY=

A Musician With Many Hats

This week we are joined by a violinist, composer, photographer, cat lover and movie star. Oh! Did we mention this is just one person? Alice Hong is a musician who wears many different hats, and being a musician is what granted her all these opportunities. Alice is a member of the Edgewood String Quartet (who get to play for 1000 candles twice a week), a composer of beautiful classical music and a photographer and videographer who helps other musicians in their businesses and careers. She even rubs elbow with The Rock in a new Netflix movie. We are starstruck!

Five Composers You've Never Heard Of

In the olden days, it was common to have a name inspired by your career, class status, or place of birth. But what else can a name tell you about someone? Maybe their wealth, favourite food, or species...? In this episode Zara creates biographies of lesser known composers based only on their, very interesting, names.

Becoming a Violinist

Inspired by a local youth string orchestra, Tanya Charles Iveniuk has been on the path to "making it big" as a freelance violinist since the age of 10. (Shes definitely made it!) On her way to Carnegie Hall, she stopped by to answer some hard-hitting questions for us. Why do violinists have to stand when they play? Why do performers get flowers? Should we throw candy at our favourite musicians? She also helps us shake the winter chill with a performance of Vivaldis "Summer."
