With Kate Ager, an accredited music therapist, participants will explore diverse musical instruments and styles of music in an environment that encourages social interaction, connection, and community while making music. Instruction will focus on music knowledge, developing skills through singing, movement, and instrumental play with a variety of instruments while having fun and improving mental and physical wellness.

Participants will have the opportunity to see, hear, and interact with local artists, and perform alongside them in a safe and celebratory community setting.

Brettyn Rose is a rising country artist with music rooted in an acoustic aesthetic, woven with honest lyrics, powerful vocals, and a hint of sparkle. With her captivating voice, relatable songwriting, and a sound that is completely her own, the Okotoks, Alberta native is demonstrating she is a necessary voice in country music – nobody sounds like Brettyn. Approaching her career with determination and a grateful heart, Rose is already making her mark by being selected as a Top 8 Semi-Finalist in Sirius XM and the Canadian Country Music Association’s Top of The Country program (2025), as well as having three Country Music Alberta Award nominations, most recently including “Horizon Female Artist of The Year” (2024). Her newest release, “Even Your Mama” (2024), is a sassy western track that reached #1 on the Indigenous Music Countdown (2025) and demonstrates a newfound confidence that Rose is excited to show more of in her upcoming music. Rose continually proves herself as one-towatch with many notable live performances such as at Country Thunder Alberta (2023), the Country Music Alberta Awards (2023), and the Canadian Finals Rodeo (2022). There is no stopping Rose on her blossoming path.
Featuring Hope Bridges Society Music Discovery Class with accredited music therapist, Kate Ager, Music Discovery encourages social interaction, connection, and community while making music.
