Reaching Out Through Music

Board of Directors

Advisory Council : Patricia Parr (past board chair and supporting artist) , Sally Armstrong, Charles Coffey, Catherine and Bill Graham, Barbara Hendrickson, Linda Ippolito, Matthew Jocelyn, Timothy Murphy, Frances Sanderson, Hugh Segal, Jean Stilwell and Ron Davis. Through the universal language of music, Reaching Out Through Music provides musical and social opportunities for children in one of North America's most densely populated and ethnically diverse urban communities, St. Jamestown, in the heart of downtown Toronto.

Reaching Out Through Music offers private and group instruction to boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 14 in piano, violin, recorder and guitar at minimal cost. In addition to instrumental instruction, all students are encouraged to participate in the ROTM children's choir. The primary criterion for entry into the programme is a sincere interest in participation on the part of the applicant and a willingness to make the commitment of time and effort to reap the benefits. Reaching Out Through Music believes that all children can enjoy the benefits of participation in music regardless of their level of ability or financial situation. 

This non-denominational programme is currently located in The Church of St. Simon-the Apostle, 525 Bloor Street East, and is open to all children in the community.  Reaching Out Through Music is most appreciative for the church's continued encouragement and support.
