Three years ago, I did the same art project we did today, drawing each part of the face.
Over time, this class has helped me discover my art style, especially when I look back at older drawings. I also love the timed gesture hand exercises—they’re challenging, but they teach you to focus and avoid getting stuck on a drawing for too long. I’ve learned so much from this class!

Ms Romano is the type of teacher that believes every child should learn and be treated equally.
She is a teacher who helps children keep up with the class and keeps them excited to learn. She teaches students how to play a large variety of instruments and helps them learn many songs to play and sing. A few songs the children have learned to play are “Jingle Bells”,and “Up On The Housetop ", “Fate Of Ophelia”.

As an music educator with over 30 years of teaching experience in GTA Public, and an active performing musician, I was thrilled to join the staff at Lynn-Rose almost three years ago.
Lynn-Rose College offers students from Grade 6 the opportunity to experience and participate in music-making through performance on a band instrument.

When I entered into the Music program at Lynn-Rose College, I didn’t expect it to be so amazing and fun.
My music teacher, Mr. Grundy was able to teach me the basics of the alto saxophone in a way where I could understand notes and sight read music. In addition, learning about music theory and specifically music history helped me understand the movements and context behind music I hear and play outside of school.
