Jiayi Li Wins Alberta Provincial Finals and Is Selected for Canada West Performing Arts Festival

We recently celebrated another outstanding season of performances from our students at the 2025 Calgary Performing Arts Festival. Our community at Morin Music Studio—a leading Calgary music school—has once again demonstrated the powerful combination of discipline, artistry, and mentorship in music education.

A Standout Season for Calgary Piano Lessons

This year’s festival season was filled with exceptional performances from our students, with many earning top placements in both solo and ensemble categories. Among these talented young musicians is Jiayi Li, a dedicated piano student of Dan Morin, whose success has continued beyond the city festival.

Following her strong performance at the Calgary Performing Arts Festival, Jiayi was selected to represent Calgary at the Alberta Provincial Finals, presented by the Alberta Music Festival Association.

Representing Alberta on the Western Canadian Stage

We are thrilled to share that Jiayi Li won 1st Prize at the Provincial Finals! She has now been selected and recommended to represent Alberta at the Canada West Performing Arts Festival, which brings together outstanding young performers from across Western Canada.

Jiayi originally competed in the 10-year-old category at the city and provincial levels, yet has been selected to represent Alberta at a higher age division. Jiayi has been invited to compete in the 13 years and under category, a level that reflects her advanced musical maturity and performance ability. This recognition speaks to the exceptional quality of her performance and her potential as a young artist.

As the Canada West finals approach this summer, Jiayi and her family will have the opportunity to decide whether to travel and participate in this next stage of competition. This selection marks a tremendous recognition and is a reflection of her incredible growth and dedication as a young musician.

Congratulations to Jiayi and Dan Morin

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Jiayi Li and her teacher Dan Morin on this well-earned success. Their dedication, consistency, and passion are a shining example of what’s possible with focused mentorship and a love of music.

"Jiayi is a pleasure to teach. She is very attentive to details and practices 90 minutes every day. She brings a surprisingly deep personality and also sense of humour to her lessons. Traits which she also exhibits in her performances"
