The Faculty of Arts has streamlined the curriculum, opened up choices, and made it easier to make changes along the academic career path. The new versions of the majors are more flexible, so students can customize their degrees by adding a minor to their major or pursuing a specialization within their major.

A piano trio comprised of Miriam Stewart-Kroeker on the cello, Marcus Scholtes on violin, and Heidi Wall on the piano will be performing the Shostakovich Trio No. 1 and the Tchaikovsky Piano Trio in A Minor.
 

This interactive workshop explores various drumming traditions and their pedagogical benefits.

In addition, the importance of “music and movement” in the classroom will be examined.

All Welcome. No cost, but kindly RSVP.
