Some music programs at Vancouver Island University could be cut.

I am a student in the music department at Vancouver Island University and have been part of this program off and on since 2004. I have observed a high degree of excellence and dedication to their craft among students in the program.There are many benefits to a music education. Music has the power to alter one’s mood, change perceptions, and to inspire change, as well as reducing stress and anxiety.

A music degree will make for a better, more marketable musician and can lead to future employment in the music industry; with a wide array of career paths and employment opportunities such as in music performance, music education, music therapy, music production and sound technician, film scoring, choral director, music agent, accompanist, talent scout, vocal coach, music journalist, composer, conductor, music software programing, and music instrument repair.

Well-known musicians who have graduated from the university’s jazz program include Anita Bonkowski, Pat Collins, Bill Costin, Ingrid Jensen, Carmella Luvisotto, Walter Martella, Kirsten Nash and Pat Steward. The required equipment such as pianos are already in place, so there is no need for purchasing further equipment, although some may require maintenance or repair.
