Welcome to Burnaby Central Music Parents Council website

“Without the support of the Music Parents’ Committee, your child’s music education at Central would not be as enriching, nor as rewarding.” -R.Shier

Music Donation Drive

Each Fall the Central Music Committee begins the school year with a donation drive to raise funds to provide opportunities for students to achieve excellence in the music program. Funds raised are used to enrich your child musical experience with:

Music and Resource Purchases
Guest Clinicians
New equipment
Scholarships
and much more!

Donations of $20 or more are eligible for tax receipts.

The Student Transitions Project

(STP) has released a report, Does Music Make You Smarter? This report provides evidence that students in music programs do very well in high school and post-secondary education, especially in terms of high school GPA, transition rates to post-secondary education, enrolling in a B.C. research-intensive university, and completing a Bachelor's degree. Please visit the STP website to learn more about this research.

For over 20 years, the MPC of the Burnaby Central has supported the students enrolled in the Band and Choral Programs, and their educators.

Parents who attend MPC meetings:

Are first to know about upcoming events (field trips, concerts);
Hear from the music directors about students’ progress and success;
Work with the MPC Executive and Music Directors to ensure that the Music Department thrives and continues to offer an enriching musical experience; and
Can feel proud that their involvement in the MPC directly benefits the musicians of Burnaby Central.

Thanks to MPC’s on-going fundraising endeavours, music students can look forward to visits from amazing clinicians, music festivals, performing in professional venues, new instruments, scholarships, and an endless supply of sheet music.
