BRANT AVENUE NEIGHBOURHOOD GROUP IS STARTING A MUSIC PROGRAM


In the New Year, we plan to provide disadvantaged youth aged 9-12 years an opportunity to learn how to play guitar and interact musically with peers.

Our aim is to give youth an empowering tool that will spark their curiosity and commitment. This program will provide an important opportunity for creativity and self-expression in a safe and supportive environment; that they would otherwise not be able to access.

WE NEED

Guitars.

Consider donating your unused acoustic guitars if they are in working order or in need of minor repairs.

Funds.

Funds are needed to repair and/or buy guitars and guitar strings. Monetary contributions are eligible for a tax receipt. Please make cheques out to the Brant Ave. Neighbourhood Group.
