A Season of Gratitude: Celebrating Christmas, New Year, and the Music That Brings Us Together
As the year comes to an end, we enter a season of reflection, celebration, and renewal. Whether you honor Christmas, Yalda, New Year, or simply the peaceful beauty of winter, this time of year invites us to pause and appreciate the blessings in our lives.
For me, this season reminds me of one of the greatest gifts I’ve received:
the opportunity to teach music to a beautiful community of students—locally and around the world.
At Amir School of Music, every lesson, every rhythm, every melody shared has become part of a deeper mission:
to cultivate creativity, preserve culture, inspire growth, and bring healing to individuals and communities everywhere.
Music as a Source of Warmth and Light
Winter brings stillness. Families gather. Hearts open. And throughout the season, music becomes the fire that warms our homes and spirits.
Children play their first holiday melodies…
Adults reconnect with their heritage through Daf or Setar…
Students discover confidence, creativity, and expression…
Families bond over rhythm and movement…
Music transforms December into a month of meaning, reflection, and joy.
I am profoundly grateful to everyone who has made this journey possible.
