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. |
