After years of teaching and performing African music, Garth Prince now creates video resources for children, youth and teachers around the globe. Videos consist of African music resources for the home and classroom, and business mentorship for artists.
Having grown up in Namibia, Africa, Garth understands that many students around the world may not have access to music lessons. Videos therefore include music curriculum outcomes plus cross-curricular content.

Garth Prince is a vocal performer with years of experience in promoting African culture and community building through song, dance and instruments. He performs concerts and teaches workshops at schools and conferences across Canada, and encourages cultural diversity in an environment of work and play that appeals to students of all ages and abilities.
Growing up in Namibia, he learned traditional music by rote. Since living in Canada, he broadened his teaching and performance methods to include vocal jazz and Orff Schulwerk. Recognized as a role model by the Edmonton Arts Council, The National Black Coalition of Canada, and The Black Canadian Awards, he continues to build a bridge between western and African musical traditions. Currently working from home, Garth is accompanied by his wife Michelle (B.Ed. in Elementary Education) and two children, Grant and Lily, who appear in many of the videos. |
