A generous bequest from Robert Leslie Welsh allows the Library to offer sample sessions of Kodaly Orff music classes. We partner with Capilano University Music School in order to offer these classes. The Library's Welsh Fund pays Capilano University instructors to conduct classes in the Library. The Fund has also been used to purchase a set of instruments. Classes are the same as those offered at various locations on the North Shore.

Please Note:
This class is a one-time opportunity and is only open to children who have not participated in a Kodaly-Orff program before. Consistent attendance is expected.

For information about Kodaly Orff music classes on the North Shore visit Capilano University's Kodaly Orff web page.
