Knows as Mara Jay to my fellow vocals, I am truly glad to have been surrounded by so many supportive and kind people these past four years. I remember my mom explaining what Canterbury’s vocal program entailed, and as soon as she said the word “classical”, I would say “nope, nevermind”, but what Canterbury had to offer was exactly what I was missing. The environment here screams creativity and individuality so I learned how to achieve both through writing and producing my own music. Next year I will be attending TMU in the Professional Music Program. The program started in September 2021 so I will be the third graduating class through, and I can happily say that I’m super excited to be a lab rat.
