WHAT'S NEW


A Message from Dale Donaldson, CNCM Chairperson

Picture
Dear Friend of CNCM and Future Musicians, 

On behalf of all of us at Northern Lights Canadian Conservatory of Music (CNCM), I bring 2025 year end greetings. Christmas time in Canada brings out the best in everyone. The sights and the sounds of Christmas remind us of how fortunate we are to live in Canada. 

For 23 years, through its national network of teachers, CNCM has been inspiring and mentoring Canada’s next generation of musicians. The student curriculum that CNCM has developed is comprehensive and robust offering a full 10 grades, all with Canadian piano repertoire. Now more than ever the development of a young person’s musical talent is such a productive alternative to the countless hours of device time that dominate their lives everyday. 
​

We are very grateful for your support in the past, as it has allowed our conservatory to maintain its programs and expand opportunities to youth across Canada’s vast musical landscape. If you have donated in the past, please consider continuing to support CNCM. If you have not donated before, your assistance will be greatly appreciated. [MORE]
