The Shine Group

The Shine Foundation provided music education, performance and production services by bridging the gap between students and professional artists. Students develop real world skill sets while mentors benefit through access to affiliated facilities and services contributing to the growth of a healthy and sustainable musical community.

By inviting the participation of local businesses, community organizations and artists in the production of concerts and events, Shine builds partnerships that produce an environment where excellent music performances can be appreciated with regularity by everyone.

Founded in 2002, Shine is a charitable arts foundation dedicated to the promotion of music education, performance, and production. Its’ four pillars of activity are:

1. The Shine Method has evolved by combining both the teaching and performance experiences of our professional mentors. The Shine Method grows organically through the addition of content and input of the many teachers and musicians Shine employs. 

2. Shine Concerts works with musicians, venues, and festivals in the National Capital Region and beyond to provide opportunities for artists.

3. Shine Studios provides Ottawa musicians affordable access to high-quality recording facilities, with an emphasis on artists recording original music.

4. The Shine Foundation provides music lessons to children who would not otherwise have access to lessons as a catalyst for social change.

Shine helps musicians transition between our four pillars of activity seamlessly. 

Over the past 20 years Shine has raised funds for other charities in the National Capital Region and around the country to raise money for worthy causes.
