Register now for Music Discoveries
Music Discoveries is a unique experience for learning, playing, meeting new friends, and making forever memories. If you are in grade 6, 7, or 8 and are currently in a middle school music program, this is the camp for you!
At Music Discoveries, students participate in a combination of ensembles, sectionals, and choose your own adventure (CYOA) sessions. These sessions culminate in a final concert for friends and family at the end of the weekend.
Each year, Music Discoveries is tied together with a theme. The themes inform what kind of songs we'll play and sing and some of the games we'll play. The theme for Music Discoveries 2022 is Magical Forest!
Sound like fun? Music Discoveries 2022 is being held at the UVic School of Music from January 21 - 23 2022! Parents, register your child early for $10 off your registration fee of $50. The early registration period is from October 15 - December 6. Registration closes on January 7 at 10PM.

Risa McDonell, Music Teacher
I'm proud to be the Music Teacher at Rockheights Middle School. For 15 years, I taught band, jazz band and choir in North Vancouver secondary schools and played flute for the West Coast Symphony Orchestra. During my time in North Vancouver, I was very lucky to conduct three major musical theatre productions, to start a Canadian-Japanese sister school exchange program, and to take my bands to New York, Chicago, San Diego, Tokyo, Musicfest Canada Nationals, and The Canadian Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Banff. Two years ago, I moved home to Victoria to raise my daughter near my family. It's been a blast to make musical memories at Rockheights, and I'm looking forward to more!
