At Cassa Musical Arts, we believe that dedication, passion, and growth in music should be recognized and celebrated. Our scholarship and award programs are designed not only to honour outstanding achievement, but also to support students as they continue their musical journeys.

Beginning in 2026, the Dr. Bell Distinguished Musicianship Award will provide $150 to a student who consistently demonstrates exceptional musicianship across all aspects of their performance and learning journey at Cassa Piano Immersive. This award highlights not only technical skill, but also artistry, expression, and a deep engagement with music. We gratefully acknowledge long-time Cassa instructor, Dr. Laura Bell, for her generous contribution in making this award possible.

Other long-standing scholarship funds that are available to our students include:

MARISSA STADDON MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND: The Marissa Staddon Memorial Scholarship Fund, through Cassa Musical Arts, will award a $150 scholarship to the most outstanding Cassa Piano Immersive student each year.
DOROTHEA JOHANSON MEMORIAL FUND: Dorothea Johanson was an enthusiastic supporter of Cassa’s summer programs. She was first a volunteer at Cassa Piano Immersive (formerly Piano Camp), then joined the teaching staff and became an active member of the Cassa Board of Directors. In her honour, a $150 scholarship will be awarded to the most improved Cassa Piano Immersive student each year.
ARMTA RECOGNITION FUND: This award recognizes exceptional Cassa students who, in the opinion of the instructors, show outstanding promise and dedication to success and who currently study with an ARMTA member. The awards total $500.

At Cassa Musical Arts, these scholarships represent more than financial support; they are part of our commitment to nurturing musicians at every stage. We are proud to recognize the achievements, growth, and potential of our students, and we look forward to celebrating many more inspiring journeys in the years ahead.

Special thanks go to our many supporters who make this funding available. Because of donations made by people like you, we have been able to support many deserving and talented students over the years.
