On Wednesday, November 27, Father John Redmond’s Band Program welcomed Dr. Jeff Reynolds, Professor Emeritus from the University of Toronto Faculty of Music.

Dr. Reynolds conducted masterclasses with the Redmond Wind Ensemble and Concert Band, focusing on ensemble techniques, sound production, and the artistry of shaping music. With over 50 years of experience in music education, his guidance offered students valuable insights and inspiration.

The visit also highlighted opportunities for students to pursue music education at the post-secondary level, encouraging them to keep music a part of their academic and personal journeys.
