Pickering College has a long-standing and proud tradition of musical excellence. We provide a dynamic vocal and instrumental music programme for students from kindergarten to Grade 12. Our vision is to develop the individual musical potential of all students through a wide range of opportunities for excellence in collaborative music-making. All Pickering College students benefit from our unique Global Leadership Program, which teaches students how to deeply consider global contexts through their engagement with the arts. We encourage students to engage actively with their community so they will hear and see our ensembles at many community events throughout the year. The instrumental music programme is thriving with two concert bands and three jazz bands. The choral programme includes Primary, Junior, and Senior choirs. To share our music with our local and international community, performances are broadcast on our own radio station, 102.7 CHOP FM. Performance highlights for this year include our annual Holiday and Spring concerts, and performances at MusicFest Nationals in Niagara Falls.

Music Faculty: Rebecca MacDonald, Jessica Puskar, Heather Suters, Ellen Wells
