Collaborative Piano Workshop with Christina Tong

Saturday, November 28, 2026, 2:00–3:30pm

This is an opportunity for up to six pianists, RCM Levels 4–7 and ages 11 and up who are newer to accompanying and would like to build their confidence and ensemble skills. This year, we are delighted to welcome student violinist Leo Chen.

Hosted by Christina Tong, this will be a hands-on workshop focused on learning, experimenting, and trying things out in a supportive environment. Each pianist will have 15 minutes of stage time to work with the violinist and explore practical skills such as:

• Giving and following cues
• Listening and balancing between the piano and violin
• Using body language and eye contact to communicate musically
• What to do when the music is out of sync
• Learn how to rehearse effectively

Teachers and parents of the participating students are welcome to observe the workshop.
