I have been fortunate to have been working and teaching at KISSM for the past couple years. As a graduating student from the University of Toronto Faculty of Music, KISSM has allowed me to better myself as a teacher and musician and also, and most importantly, gave me the opportunity to work alongside the talented campers and faculty here in Kamloops. KISSM is truly a wonderfully collaborative and purely positive space that gives so much back to the community through its dedication to helping young musicians grow as artists and people. I am so proud to be a part of this amazing program in my hometown, and I know that the connections and memories I have made here will last a lifetime.
