Disabled musicians at the Halifax Tattoo to promote accessible music

The musicians and singers of the British group The Music Man Project performed for the first time in Canada at the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, the military music festival held in Halifax.

If the Halifax Tattoo Festival was originally intended to promote military music, the event now goes well beyond that.

The group The Music Man Projectwhich brings together eleven artists from the United Kingdom, does not really do military music.

This group, founded by David Stanley in 1999, aims to make music accessible to people with disabilities. It offers affordable music lessons to train young people and adults with disabilities to subsequently offer public performances.

As the years go by, David Stanley has opened regional delegations throughout the UK and abroad.

TheMusic Man Project is thus present in four countries: the Philippines, South Africa, India, Nepal and the United States where three branches have been created. But not yet in Canada.

Fraiser Clock, captain in the Canadian Armed Forces, would like to remedy this gap. In addition to performances at the Halifax Tattoo Festival and their first performances in Canada, the goal Music Man Project in Canada”,”text”:”is to start a Music Man Project in Canada”}}”>is to start a Music Man Project in Canadahe indicated.

For Vicky Morinville, a spectator at the concert and impressed by the artists present, the creation of such a project in Canada would certainly be beneficial.
