Since the start of the pandemic, Dixon Hall Music School held its first music camp in two years. Twelve youths were invited to join a March Break Music Camp at our Bill Graham Youth Centre, where over the course of the week, students learned dialogue and music, culminating in the production of Mamma Mia!.
Today on #IWD, we sat down with some of the amazing women of Dixon Hall and had an open discussion; sharing advice they have for younger generations and how they’re continuing to #BreaktheBias in their careers and spaces.
My name is Esther, I am 15 years old, and I am a Dixon Hall Music School student. I have been learning at the Music School for over eight years. Currently, I am taking piano and classical guitar lessons, and am a part of the senior choir.
As we mark the one-year anniversary of the start of our current global pandemic, it is important to reflect on how much and how deeply our community has been affected. Here at Dixon Hall, we are taking a moment to look back at the experiences and challenges that certainly tested us, but that also made us stronger as an organization, and as a community.
To celebrate the end of the 2020 school year, Dixon Hall Music School hosted its first ever virtual recital featuring over 60 performers! We want to extend our gratitude to our amazing teachers, our talented students, and for everyone who came out to support the event, and enjoy a night of music, entertainment and community.
