Highlight the facilitators:
Our team of facilitators has been a driving force behind the success of our organization. They are passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of youth through music and education. This year, we have grown our team of facilitators, who have brought new skills and perspectives to our program offerings. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work and contributions, and to share some of their inspiring stories and achievements. From Jack Haddad has been an exceptional asset to our young guitar players as he has been able to tailor the progression of each participant to their strengths. This has been proven to be the most beneficial

Program offerings:
We have expanded our program offerings this year, with new programs and initiatives that have been well received by our community. Our programs are designed to meet the diverse needs and interests of our participants and to provide a supportive and inclusive environment for learning and growth. Some of the new programs we have launched include Guitar lessons, In-person studio mentorship, and individual singing lessons for youth between the ages of 15-29. We also partnered with Nevon Sinclair and the vocal community to host a unique experience of harmony and collaboration which was attended by over 60 singers. These programs have made a positive impact on the lives of youth in the GTA, and we are proud to be able to bring music and education to even more people in our community. This year, we have formed new partnerships that have brought new resources and opportunities to our organization and stakeholders. Our partnerships with SOUNDCHECK, a sister organization that offers access to instruments, jam sessions and mentors for those of all ages.
