Our history

Musician Highlight: Cameron Roberts, Oboe

Why do you believe in the importance of music education?

β€œMusic education fosters skills that are applicable across one's lifetime. Learning an instrument and performing helps one build confidence, diligence, teamwork, and a strong work ethic. It is something I carry around everyday no matter what I am doing.”
