The Music Education Centre

The Music Education Centre at METRONOME CANADA will be a national symbol of music education in Canadian society. The design features rehearsal modules located around the circumference of a glass drum. Programs for youth, young adults, seniors and the physically and mentally challenged will be offered in a wide range of musical genres at introductory to advanced levels.

All programs will be offered on a full-time and part-time basis during days, evenings and weekends. Composition, arranging, performance, music theory, listening skills, music appreciation and Canadian music history will be incorporated into all courses and the Canadian Music Library and Resource Centre will be the central feature of the facility.

The Faculty will feature accomplished Canadian musicians from all musical genres. Toronto is the home of many of Canada's most accomplished musical artists, a number of whom have expressed a strong interest in contributing in a teaching capacity.

METRONOME CANADA CULTURE / HERITAGE FOUNDATION will institute the Canadian Music Scholarships Program for the purpose of providing to Canadian music students a comprehensive, advanced music education program that may otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable. In conjunction with regional non-profit music industry associations, two exceptionally talented individuals between the ages of 14 and 18 from each Province and Territory of Canada will be invited to participate in an intensive six-week study program at The Music Education Centre.
