Maestro Jett’s Piano Lesson Winter Recital

The Filipino community in Winnipeg is teeming with talented individuals in various disciplines who deserve to be recognized. One of such gifted persons in the music field is Jett Russel Panganiban–a Classically trained pianist, a music teacher, and a passionate performer.

“Five years ago, it all started as a dream—a vision of creating a space where passion and profession could seamlessly merge, where music could be nurtured, and where students could find a haven to explore the enchanting world of piano.

“Little did I know that this dream would face its share of challenges, struggles, setbacks, and occasional doubts. There were moments when criticisms and inquisitions from skeptics echoed loudly, and the path seemed daunting.

“However, it is said that every great journey is marked by trials, and it is the strength to overcome them that defines success.

“Despite the obstacles, the dream persisted, fueled by a burning passion for music and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of piano lessons.

“Today, I am proud to say that, against all odds, that dream has become a reality again. The Winter Recital that the audience witnessed is a testament to the dedication, perseverance, and talent of each and every student who has been a part of Jett’s Piano Lesson.”

On December 16, 2023, at 1:00 PM, Maestro Panganiban held his successful event, dubbed as Jett’s Piano Lesson Winter Recital, at Eckhardt-Gramatté Hall, University of Winnipeg. Remarkably, out of the 80 students enrolled in Jett’s Piano Lesson, 61 performers took the stage to share their musical accomplishments with friends, family, and the community.

Al these performers were the pride not only of their parents but also of Maestro Panganiban–their teacher and mentor.

So, if you are a parent and you have a budding musical talent in your children, then take them to Maestro Panganiban to properly develop and hone their abilities. Let him turn their talents into skills, and their casual hobbies into serious but engagingly fun preoccupations.

There will be more slots in 2024, so this early you may already contact Teacher Jett Russell Panganiban via his Facebook account, or email him at jettspianolesson@yahoo.com.
