In times of uncertainty, we look more than ever to the profound inspiration of the arts. In order to continue sharing this incredible gift, High River Gift of Music is proud to foster a connection between young students of music and those who are well on their way to mastering it.
During this season, we are facilitating virtual classes with talented Canadian musicians, including former Gift of Music artists. Students will have an opportunity to study with and learn from these musicians in an online setting, in three lessons offered over six to 10 weeks. Our guest teachers are masters of a variety of instruments, including piano, string instruments such as violin and cello, saxophone, and trumpet.
We hope to share the results of these masterclasses with our wider audience.
