Madly Friesen (CMU '20, BMus) - Bringing New Sounds to Faraday School (Winnipeg School Division)

At Faraday School, the music room is a place where students explore creativity through music, dance, drama, and movement. Teacher Madly Friesen creates opportunities for students to express themselves, collaborate, and find a sense of belonging through the performing arts.

Starting their second teaching year at Faraday, Friesen is already celebrating significant milestones. Students won the CBC Music Class Challenge with their original song, "Rise to the Challenge", and the school received an $18,000 MusiCounts Innovation Grant to expand its music program.
