Art Works – On the Boards Staging Company

For over 20 years, the company has provided expertise and resources in the technical and administrative areas of production to help hundreds of independent artists and performer-producers stage their art. During the pandemic, however, cancellations have been the norm, and the Refinery space has been almost empty. Gallant-Morari’s concert had been cancelled twice before they finally pulled it off.

Inspiring Quotes

Jennifer McAllister, music educator

[Music] is good for us our whole life, so an investment in music education in young people is an investment in wellbeing for people for their whole life.

Albert Einstein

Life without music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music … I get most joy in life out of music.

Dr. Peter Gouzouasis, PHD. University of British Columbia

The more students study music, the better they do in Math, Science and English

Dr. Jessica Phillips-Silver, PhD, cognitive neuroscientist

We now “get” that music is one of the major frontiers of science and medicine—we have plentiful evidence, and dedicated pioneers on the path to discovering WHY we need to keep music in our lives, in our schools, and in our centers for healing.

🎊 Happy Music Education Day! 🎊

This year, in Saskatchewan, we celebrated Music Education Day on September 13 in our classrooms, homes, and headphones. Music has countless benefits!

In response to this celebration, Andrea Johnson wrote a piece on how important music education and music is and how music is a part of us. In doing so, Andrea Johnson carefully explains the need for community music education and how positive it is for learning! 🎶

“Let’s get back to our roots. Let’s prioritize, normalize, and support community music. Let’s highlight community music education as a meaningful practice of hope and humanness.” - Andrea Johnson.

Take action for music education in Saskatchewan! 🎼

This year, on September 13, Saskatchewan celebrates Music Education Day. Music has countless benefits in our classrooms, homes, and headphones. The Saskatchewan Arts Alliance (SAA), along with the Saskatchewan Music Educators Association (SMEA), are inviting Saskatchewan people to write to their MLAs, the Minister of Education, the Hon. Jeremy Cockrill and the Executive Director & President of the Saskatchewan School Board Association to celebrate the sheer power of music and express the significance of music education in our children's lives in support of Saskatchewan Music Education Day.

We know that music education is vital to a well-rounded education, fostering creativity, discipline, and a love for the arts in our children. In Saskatchewan, we have a unique opportunity to make a difference in our children's lives. Remember, your voice matters, and together, we can make a meaningful impact on the future of music education in our province.

🔊 Let your voice be heard by reaching out to your MLA, the Minister of Education and the leadership of the Saskatchewan School Board Association.
