Community Music in Canada

Two new CM Documentaries

Through my research project Community Music in Canada, we’ve published two documentaries on incredible community music projects. I’ll introduce them below, but you can view all documentaries on our Youtube channel @CommunityMusicinCanada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnqB-hE_dEo Published today! Unity Charity is a national charity dedicated to empowering youth through hip hop. Clinton and Adrian describe their programs and the need for facilitators to be excellent in their craft while also holding space for community. https://youtu.be/_jW8XtXg5Ag?si=D2TEv0CrOt_-QqIE Kehewin Native Dance Theatre, based in central Alberta, has advanced Indigenous culture through youth-focused performances for over 30 years. This documentary follows their first music creation project, Naskwahamâtowin.

CM in Canada featured in Promenade radio show

Thrilled to be interviewed by Waterloo Region’s own Martin DeGroot on the show Promenade, as part of the community station Midtown Radio. Martin spoke with myself and Samantha Tai on our Community Music in Canada project (now with 5 micro-documentaries released!). I spoke about the research project, where we went, the purpose, and hopes for the future. Sam spoke about her work as Technical Director and Research Assistant. You can catch the episode (released October 28, 20204) on Spotify. Check out Midtown Radio for lots of excellent programming for the Kitchener-Waterloo Region.
