The Heart of the City Piano Program is an inner city school piano project that is being sponsored by the Saskatchewan Music Educators Association. The program was founded in the fall of 1995 at Pleasant Hill Community School by Richard Dubé, the school’s music teacher. The intent of this ongoing project is to enhance the lives and learning opportunities of at-risk youth through a structured music program that continues throughout the school year. It is strongly believed that involvement in the Heart of the City Piano Program will help students to make positive lifestyle choices and prevent them from becoming involved in drugs, alcohol and violence.
In

of the City Piano Program
expanded provincially to include sites at Riverside Community
School in Prince Albert thanks to Corinne Olson, Prince Arthur

of the City Piano Program

In the fall of 2007, the Heart of the City Piano Program expanded to Montréal, Québec thanks to the hard work and efforts of Bettina Choo and the Circle K Kiwanis Club from the University of McGill.
