The Rock School Singing To Support Music Therapy

November 20, 2012 – Brampton, Ontario

Christmas Album: “The Rock School Christmas 2012”

“Music therapy is the use of music to promote, maintain and restore psychological, physical, emotional and

spiritual health,” says Alicia Leon, SickKids Foundation.

The Rock School’s Co-owner Andrea Gavrilovic has always shared her experience and admiration about

The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) with students and their families, only to realize that there are

many families that share their own touching stories and experiences at this amazing hospital. “I love

Christmas and I’m passionate about music,” says Andrea, “I wanted to use music as a tool to give a gift

back to SickKids.”

A joint effort from The Rock School’s Teachers, Students and guest musicians was made over the past 6

months to arrange, practice, record, produce and mix traditional Christmas songs to create “The Rock

School Christmas Album 2012”. A short-run of CD’s will be sold at The Rock School and it will also be

available for purchase on-line through Itunes. Proceeds from album sales will go to SickKids to support

music therapy within the Creative Arts Therapy Program. A personal donation page has also been set up on

the SickKids fundraising website where tax receipts will be issued accordingly.
