A Christmas Melody: Finding Joy at the Piano

 Hello again! It’s Trixie, back to share another chapter of my piano journey. This time, the holiday spirit has added a magical twist to my lessons. As Christmas approaches, there’s something so special about learning music that captures the warmth and joy of the season.

Deck the Halls with Practice




After my first music lesson, I felt a mix of excitement and determination. I’ve been practicing regularly, and while my fingers sometimes feel clumsy, each session brings a little more confidence. Dessy introduced me to a simple version of “Jingle Bells,” and it’s the perfect piece to practice for the holidays. Playing those cheerful notes instantly lifts my mood and makes me feel connected to the Christmas spirit.

A Family Affair


My daughter has been the sweetest little audience. She claps whenever I play—even if I hit the wrong notes! Seeing her eyes light up as I work through “Jingle Bells” is a reminder of why I started this journey in the first place. The other day, she even tried tapping the keys, mimicking me. It’s moments like these that make my heart swell.

Christmas at NUVO


The atmosphere at NUVO Music School - Music Lessons in Langley has also transformed for the season. The halls are decorated with twinkling lights and garlands, and the sound of students playing festive songs fills the air. It’s inspiring to see kids and adults alike bringing their holiday favorites to life on the piano. I’m not quite ready to perform at a recital, but who knows—maybe next Christmas!

The Gift of Music


This holiday season, I’ve realized that learning piano is more than just a personal goal—it’s a gift I’m giving to myself and my daughter. It’s a way to create memories, embrace challenges, and find joy in the simple act of making music. And isn’t that what Christmas is all about?

Looking Ahead


As the year comes to a close, I’m filled with gratitude for this new journey. My piano lessons in Langley have brought so much happiness and focus into my life, and I can’t wait to see where they take me in the new year. My next goal is to master a piece well enough to surprise my family with a little performance on Christmas Eve. Wish me luck!

Thank you for following along on this adventure. May your holidays be filled with love, joy, and perhaps a little music, too.

— Trixie

Returning to My Childhood Dream - My First Piano Lesson

Hello, everyone! I’m Trixie, a 30-year-old nurse, a mom, and someone finally chasing a dream I’ve held onto since childhood. Growing up, learning piano was something I always wanted to do, but due to financial priorities, it just wasn’t possible.  Life moved on, and my career as a nurse became my focus. But now, with my daughter by my side, I’m ready to finally bring music into our lives. I had my first piano lesson at NUVO Music School in Langley, and I can’t wait to share this experience with you! Walking Into a Dream When I walked into the school, my heart raced. I had no real background in music or piano , so I was nervous about feeling out of place. But as I looked around, I felt this deep sense of belonging. The atmosphere at NUVO is warm, and it instantly felt like the right place to begin this journey. My First Lesson I met Dessy, my piano teacher , who could tell right away that this was all new to me. I loved her approach—she was encouraging and patient, easing me in...

Hello again, music lovers! Trixie here, back with another post. The holiday season is in full swing, and I'm already thinking about the perfect gifts for my loved ones.
