Music - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Founded in 2002 by Virginia and David Cox, The Fall River School of Performing Arts is a family-run music school. It is located in the former Windsor Junction Elementary School, just down the road from David and Virginia's Family home. Virginia and David's five children, already highly committed to the arts, inspired the couple's dream of enriching the lives of others in a community that lacked a local arts school. For twenty years, the combined efforts of the Cox family and their committed team of teachers have helped reshape their surrounding community. They have built a family-focused arts hub, offering private music lessons, as well as dance, musical theatre and drama from some of Nova Scotia's most respected teachers and performers. From musical productions and ensembles to plays, rock camps and recitals, high-profile performance has always been the focus at FRSPA. Along the way, their little school has helped build bonds to foster arts-inspired growth and celebrate lifelong love for music and performance.
