Music to their Ears

2/2/2017

Improving as a musician takes, practice, practice and more practice - and being able to hear yourself play when you do it. For this reason, practice spaces are a key feature of the new music rooms. Soundproof practice rooms, in addition to a vestibule between the rooms' two sets of doors, provide students with quiet areas where they can rehearse individually or in small groups.“It gives teachers a lot more options in terms of how we organize a lesson and use group learning,” says music teacher Ben Wright.

A sprung floor, combined with sound panels on the walls and ceiling, provide optimal acoustics in the spaces. The new music rooms address more practical concerns as well - sinks allow students to easily wash and maintain their instruments, and a music storage room will soon be outfitted with custom shelving designed to accommodate every instrument.

When they’re ready to perform, our new theatre offers an ideal space - and it’s right across the hall. According to Ben, “Very little time is wasted moving instruments from place to place and that leaves more time for playing and learning.”

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
