Dr. Kenneth Nichols<\/h3>\n
\n\t

\"\"Dr. Kenny was a wonderful mentor and piano teacher during my years at Brandon University. The way that he cared about his students went beyond the norm, and just a few of the great memories (besides lessons!) include: celebrating the performances of \u201cSymphonic Celebration\u201d as well as his opera \u201cHilda Blake\u201d with him, travelling to Banff to see him working in one of the cool cottages at the Banff Centre, horseback riding with him, and having his very strong and generous support at a National competition in Medicine Hat in 1988. He also visited Winnipeg in 2019 for the Gala Concert at our National Conference and we had such a nice time with others from Brandon University reminiscing over a few drinks. He passed away in August 2021 and is greatly missed.<\/p>\n

Cindy Raxter<\/h3>\n
\n\t

\"\"Cindy Raxter was in her first years of teaching when she started a strings program at our elementary\/junior high school. I\u2019m so glad that my mom signed my sister and I up because we learned so much from her. I remember how kind and patient she was, and we all loved her. I only wished I had practised more and kept up my violin playing, but it all really rounded out my music education and career, and I\u2019m so grateful. Thanks Cindy!<\/p>\n

Marilyn Sinclair<\/h3>\n
\n\t

\"\"Marilyn took me in as an 18 year old hopeful pianist in my 2nd year at U of L. She became my mentor and friend, and even drove several hours to play organ at my wedding. And through the years she still inspires me in music, teaching and ARMTA. I am blessed! Marilyn has made a huge difference in my life. She is a unique, gifted, inspiring teacher. So glad I can attend her retirement party in Lethbridge this June. Well done, Marilyn, and it is an honour to donate this to CFMTA in your honour.<\/p>\n

Lydia Wiebe<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Lydia Wiebe was my first piano teacher, and I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today were it not for her amazing teaching from grade 2 until I graduated high school. She influenced so many young musicians in Manitoba and really made a difference in my life. I think of her often as I teach my young students and I also show them all the wonderful and colourful markings you made (so much detail!) in my old sheet music \ud83d\ude00 Thank you Lydia!<\/p>\n
