Our History
Rhythm & Pitch is a music education program open to any child who registers for available spots. It can, and does, accommodate special needs children. Lessons are free, but there is a modest registration fee to cover materials. The program starts in mid-September and runs to mid-June. Singing is part of the weekly routine. Children learn the principles of rhythm and pitch by playing recorders, xylophones, hand drums, keyboards, trumpets, trombones, flutes, ukuleles, and guitars, depending on their ages.
Rhythm & Pitch was founded by Sandra Ruttan, a musician and certified music teacher, who found a willing partner for a community music education program at Grace United Church on Grove Street in Barrie. The program for elementary school children between the ages of 6 & 13 has been offered on Wednesday afternoons at Grace since January 2014. Our program has been funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, United Church of Canada Foundation, Kiwanis Club of Barrie, Barrie Lions Club and community donors.
