about
I cannot imagine myself not making music after all these years, but for some, their music making journey ends – after high school graduation, after post-secondary, after having a family. People believe “they don’t have time”, “they feel rusty”, “they only did it in school”, etc. I want to encourage everyone to throw those stigmas away and pick up their instrument and sing again. There are many places in your neighbourhood that does just that – make music! Welcome to the world of community music making! Join me on my journey around Scarborough and the GTA to visit, attend and interview music-makers in our very own backyard.
