Students in this program learn, grow and enrich our lives. In turn, our schools are enriched by the participation of parents and local musicians such as Claude Giguere and members of professional organizations such as the Vancouver Symphony who come to the rehearsals to conduct workshops on their instruments. This positive partnership is a wonderful example of how music and the arts can enhance the quality of life in our society.
