As we continue to collectively strive to manage the pandemic, it is not possible to hold a live event such as Summer Sizzle in a safe and responsible manner. Convocation will be held as a virtual event on July 11, 2021.
While we will miss the excitement of Summer Sizzle 2021, CNCM has been busy crafting new and exciting projects to continue to support the development of music skills and talent across the country. Keep checking our website for information regarding our new Composers at Work program coming soon. Also, be sure to check out our series of YouTube videos featuring composers discussing and performing different works from CNCM publications: Northern Lights, Making Tracks and Folksong series. CNCM will continue to hold ALL spring examinations in an online format to ensure that children are able to meet their musical goals and have a continuous and purposeful plan of study. CNCM wishes to share a message of calm and normalcy with our teachers and students; while it may not be quite “business as usual”, with our planned accommodations students will continue to have opportunities for success, which will be ‘music to our ears’.
The following list may assist with process – please share with your families to create a positive experience for all:
CNCM acknowledges that live performances are always our first choice, but meeting goals is equally important and online exams make this possible. Debra Wanless CNCM Principal |
