Jarvis Collegiate Institute’s Music Department was recently featured on CBC’s The National! The news story focused on our school's use of music technology and hip hop to reach more students. 

The three-part article details how microphones, MIDI keyboards, and DJ controllers are opening up new ways of music-making in schools and how popular music genres, like hip hop and EDM, are engaging students who might not otherwise participate in traditional music classes. 

We are proud to be an example of innovation within the Toronto District School Board. Starting in Semester 2, students enrolled in our new Music and Production (AMM4M1) will be able to earn a Grade 12 University/College credit as they explore DJing, beat making, songwriting, and more! Speak to Mr. Jameer for more information.

This will also be an elective for course selection for next year that starts in February.
