Music From Far and Wide

MusiCounts is Canada’s music education charity associated with CARAS, which helps to keep music alive in schools across Canada. MusiCounts’ mission is to ensure that children in Canada, regardless of socio-economic circumstances and cultural background, have access to a comprehensive music program through their school. MusiCounts’ projects include Band Aid musical instrument grants, the MusiCounts Teacher of the Year Award, Scholarships, and other music education initiatives.

MusiCounts is reaching out to the community during JUNO Week at 9 March 21st to March 25th subway stations to help raise awareness about MusiCounts. Volunteers(including me) will be collecting donations from the community during rush hour, and in return donators will receive a MusiCounts pin or pen. Please have extra change in hand and be part of it. Your favourite artists will be wearing these special pins and we believe that they will become a collectors favourite...I bet the Beiber will pay special attention to all fans who are wearing these pins. ; )

I am really excited that I get the priviledge of Volunteering for the Junos. Canadian Music Week was absolutely amazing. Special thanks to my friends at League of Rock and to Zack Werner, Shania Twain, Gordon Deppe, Jim Cuddy and Tal Bachman. Thanks for making the music that deeply moves and inspires us all.
