Today Andrew speaks with James Caswell,  Janice Mah, and Jason Sinkus, who are vocal, string, and wind performance instructors at Canterbury High School in Ottawa, Canada.

We ask them what the situation has been in the last 18 months; how the regulations have affected music performance in the school; what challenges face current students; and what challenges are to the music program itself in the coming years.
