Interview: RockIt Vocal Studios Emma Harding brings music workshops to rural Alberta communities 🎧

Growing up, I was fortunate enough to get vocal lessons, piano lessons and theory lessons all in High River or Okotoks. We also had strong choir, band and drama classes in my high school. That was 15+ years ago though. These days, it seems as though music programs and workshops are dwindling in numbers throughout rural communities across Alberta - and it's not due to a lack of interest, it's due to a lack of funding.

According to Howlett, he runs horse and carriage riding clinics.

"There weren't many coaches out there and when I spent some time coaching and doing some things, I wanted to give back to the community."

Carnie's Comments - Throwback Thursday

 

Carnie's Comments

 

It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

With the provincial election campaign underway, I'm throwing it back to the first election I covered as a reporter.

It was the 1986 provincial election.

In those days, you couldn't get results on the world-wide web. Your best bet for up-to-the-minute results was the AM radio.
