"I loved this competition. I appreciated your hard work for making this competition friendly and amazing. I also liked that you changed the trophy looks every year. I loved the spoon and the flower seeds, I'm thinking about perhaps planting it but I'm not really good at it yet 😅. Thank you for the scholarship as well, I'm going to be using it for musical purposes and more! "

Thank you again.

"Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the 2024 Yip's Music Festival (YMF)! Our daughter had an amazing experience and learned so much from the expert adjudicator's specific comments and suggestions about the piano pieces she played, and also listening to other talented students play their music. We are also so thankful for the nomination and the opportunity to represent YMF at the Ontario Music Festivals Association (OMFA) competition, what a privilege! We attended the YMF 2024 Gala Concert and were so amazed by the piano, violin, and musical theatre performances of the talented young musicians, and our daughter was truly inspired by their performances. She was also very happy to receive the YMF trophies and grateful for the scholarship! Thank you again, YMF and its sponsors, for this fantastic experience!!!"

"This was my fifth time at Yip’s Music Festival, and once again, it was a delightful experience to take part in such a well-organized event. The scheduled events all started on time and transitions between classes were smooth. The adjudication gave me insightful feedback to help me improve my pieces. 
The awards ceremony was grand, with impressive performances by top prize winners. The venue was full, with a supportive audience that gave thunderous applause after each performance. Each first prize winner received a beautiful trophy, and the scholarships that were awarded were very generous. 
The award that each musician received inspires them to strive for excellence and drives them to pursue greater goals in the future. The variety and number of awards that the festival gives out allows many people with different interests to participate. 
I definitely want to come back to Yip’s Music Festival to compete and continue growing as a musician. "

"Thank you so much for awarding me a scholarship! Congratulations on your 25th anniversary Festival! It's amazing how long you’ve been inspiring and helping young musicians. I am really excited and grateful for this opportunity, and can't wait to learn more about music in the future.
Thanks again for believing in me and supporting young musicians like me. Happy 25th anniversary!"

"I felt privileged to adjudicate the 2023 Yip's Music Festival. It was a pleasure and a real treat to listen to so much beautiful music. I am very impressed by the hard work and dedication of all the performers and teachers. Thank you dearly for the parents' support and the efficiency of the administrators to make this event an excellent learning experience for all the students. I wish you all every success in your future endeavours in music."

"It was an honour to play on a Steinway for my first in-person music festival! The feedback I got from the adjudicator was very helpful, especially when she showed me on the piano beside me."

"My two sons had a great experience participating in the Yip's 2023 music festival. The festival was so well organized and the adjudicators were so encouraging. One of my sons attended the gala concert at the end and was so motivated to practice after receiving his 1st place trophy. Thank you for encouraging my kids on their musical journey and for organizing a great festival. We will be sure to participate in future years!"
