Club of the Month: Kwantlen Music Students Association

Every month we (try to, yes sometimes it just doesn’t end up happening, we’re sorry, please forgive us) feature a KSA club and highlight the fun/cool things that make their club different from the others. It’s a chance to get a little inside information, and see what events and meetings they have coming up.

Our April Club of the Month is the Kwantlen Music Student’s Association. Hear more about the club from the Club President, Emma.. 

Club Executives:  Amy Wack (Treasurer), Alexa Reimer (Coordinator),
Emma Dotto ( President / Founder), and Jeremy Laity (Vice President).

“I started the Music Students' Association because I had a real interest in musician's health as I was dealing with some performance injuries myself. While researching musician's health, I happened upon the McGill University's Musician's Health Club Instagram account and realized that this was something I could bring to KPU. 

From there, the club has grown into a multi-faceted association targeting not only musician's health, but also funding masterclasses, organizing social events and providing performance opportunities for the music students. 

Some events the KMSA have hosted include an Alexander Technique workshop, a Performance Anxiety Workshop, a Spring Formal (featuring the KPU Music Big Band and Jazz Combos), a Jazz Jam night, and, a Piano Masterclass with one of KPU Music’s top 25 alumni.”

“What makes the KMSA unique is that it is a club that recognizes the areas in which music students need more support and then takes action to help that by hosting workshops, masterclasses, social events, and jam nights. The executive team is compromised of music students helping music students.”

“We are currently getting our monthly Jazz Jam Nights off the ground! These nights are the best because it gives everyone a chance to let loose and just play music with friends and have a good time.”

“As the semester is winding down, so are we. However, we have some big plans for the next Fall and Spring semester! Some more masterclasses, workshops, and hopefully another Spring Formal!”
