“Rhythm is a muscle! Let’s do some rhythmic weight training.”
Laurie Matiation, Artistic Director, Academy and Advanced Performance Program, Mount Royal University Conservatory of Music
“Malcolm has been sharing his expertise with the students and teachers in our Academy Program at Mount Royal University Conservatory for the last few years. His classes are always engaging and inspiring and so much fun! The students absolutely love his classes! Last spring, when the pandemic hit, we did an online session with him, and it was so good – well organized and thought out, and also very engaging. We will definitely be asking him back!”
