The Fine Arts Parents Association is a volunteer parent group that exists solely for the purpose of advocacy and support for free public extracurricular music education through Halifax’s All-City Music Programme. Through All-City Music, free weekly programming is available as early as Grade 4, in the Strings Programme, with various choral groups, string ensembles, symphony and jazz bands becoming available to children as they progress through their Elementary, Junior, and Senior High education. FAPA funds scholarships and prizes for music students at the high school level, and provides financial support to the All-City music groups. Check out their website here: https://fapa.ednet.ns.ca
