| Music for Young Children program in Ottawa | |
March 2008
CTV, Canada's largest private broadcaster, recently ran a story about Christopher Norton on their website
here. Make sure you click on the video to the right of the story!
Entitled "Musical master gives kids a special lesson", the article covers Christopher's recent visit to Ottawa to present a workshop for the Music for Young Children program, an international network of music teachers and students. Music for Young Children was created in 1980 by Frances Balodis, MYC's founder and international director, to provide children with an exciting, child-centered approach to learning music. Working together in small age-specific groups with parents and teacher, children learn fundamental music skills.
You can see more about the event at the
Ottawa Citizen—and there are also videos posted with Christopher Norton, Frances Balodis and Olivia Riddell playing winning compositions from Music for Young Children's annual composition festival.
You can learn more about the Music for Young Children program at their
official website.
