Building Community Through Music

 

Our Jazz Hour Concert featuring some of our Imagine Music Teachers is just around the corner!

We have partnered with Innisfail Connects a service that provides programming for seniors.

We would also like to invite any of our Imagine Music Community to listen in. As well, please feel free to share this invite with other seniors (or anyone) that may feel isolated during this time or who want to listen to some great music.

“Thank you so very much for sending the info which enabled me to do the zoom thing for the first time. Your instructions were perfect and I watched the full recital. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I thought the recital went really well and you are to be congratulated!” – Jean, Imagine Music Senior Student

“Thank you so much for your care and attention with Imagine Music. Your recitals make every child feel confident, special, and successful.” – Ana, Imagine Music Parent
