The Royal Conservatory of Music has announced Gold Medal winners for the period August 2022-June 2023. I am pleased to hear that my previous student Jiyuan (Jerry) Zheng — who prepared for his ARCT Performers exam with me in my Burnaby studio and played it last August 2022 — has won the National Gold Medal for Piano ARCT Performers Diploma (tied). Congratulations Jerry! #rcmgoldmedal
