Anna Levy, DMA, Piano – Gregory Myers, PhD, Music Theory
Our Mandate
“The personal example is the only way to influence others.”
Albert Einstein
We live according to this mandate: Anna Levy enjoys an active career as a soloist, recording artist, and chamber musician, championing contemporary and undiscovered compositions. She has received support from the Burnaby and British Columbia Arts Councils, as well as the CBC. Gregory Myers is active internationally as a scholar, researcher and author. He regularly participates in scholarly conferences in Canada, the United States and Europe. His second book is slated for publication this fall. He is also listed as an examiner for the Toronto Conservatory.
Together, we have established a high-level music studio in which we are able to expound rigorous Eastern European methods of music pedagogy. We believe that music education is not limited to any system, nor does it stop with the Royal Conservatory of Music. This is just the beginning. Our students have been accepted into the music programs of McGill University, University of Toronto, University of Victoria, and the University of British Columbia. Today they are our colleagues.
