Music can change
the world because it can change people
The arts are important for our mental health
You are not alone
We are excited to offer FREE individual music lessons on piano and guitar and select other instruments. Priority is given to those who have a mental health condition but others will be accepted provided we have the resources.
The piano lessons are offered at Richmond Hill United Church (10201 Yonge Street) and according to the available times and locations of our highly qualified teachers. Although we strongly recommend in-person learning, a few online learning spots are also available.
Guitar lessons are also offered at Richmond Hill United Church and around the availability of the instructors in their studios located in the same geographical vicinity.
Playing music on your own is wonderful but for many the most rewarding things about music can be when you play together with others. If you already know how to play an instrument, email highnotesavante@gmail.com to be part of one of the bands or orchestras we are forming.
We are offering these programs because we believe in and have evidence that music heals. In an ideal world, everyone should have the opportunity to learn to express themselves through music.
