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.
