Noah's First Jazz Concert of the 2024 - 2025 Year at College St-Laurent
On Tuesday, October 21, 2025 Noah participated in the first jazz concert of the academic school year at College St-Laurent here in Montreal, Quebec. Playing his trombone in a Big Band extravaganza the ensemble belted out tune after tune in an environment charged with musical energy. Also, joining the students for the evening were former graduates of this hallowed institution. Noah’s director Jocelyn Couture joined this ensemble and blasted all of those screaming trumpet notes. Even the CEGEP’s director was able to join the fun demonstrated exceptional bass playing skills.

Music is one of the most natural and familiar experiences to our ears. An unborn infant in the womb may feel the vibration from a mother’s voice as she sings. One may listen to music to settle into a particular mood. Music may excite us or music may relax us.
Music has taken me from one side of the world to the other and back again. Allow me to share these experiences with you in a variety of ways to realize the music within you.
Music may be as simple as a bird song. Alternatively, music may be as complex as a symphony orchestra on stage or a favourite rock band in the fan-packed room of a loud basement club. Our basic instinct is the beating of our heart. Rhythm comes naturally to us all. Breathe in. Breathe out.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out . . . Robert Collier
