Experience, Create, Celebrate
United Music Canada's Mission to Enrich Lives through the Power of Music!
OUR STORY
Singing frees the soul and relieves the stresses of everyday life....
Singing frees the soul and relieves the stresses of everyday life. Our activities are enjoyable because they bring a moment of delight and surprise into an otherwise monotonous day, because the essence of singing is internal, it is felt more deeply than playing an instrument and therefore has a more profound and personal effect.
Singing in groups can help people recover from mental illness, making them feel valued and increasing their confidence, according to research. A Lot of youths are musically talented but idle and we intend to give them the opportunity to use their voice and also to provide them professional guidance into their music careers.
Music has a ripple effect. The public is not only exposed to the unending joys and vast richness of our music
