Unique gift brings music making to UBC Library

By Jessica Woolman on May 22, 2015

girl at pianoPatrons of the Music, Art and Architecture Library will soon have the opportunity to try out the Library’s large collection of sheet music on site.

Vancouver-based Tom Lee Music has generously donated an electric piano to create an interactive experience for library users. Patrons are invited to try out the Library’s collection of scores or compose their own music. Tom Lee Music is a long-time supporter of the UBC School of Music and UBC Opera, and students of these departments will benefit greatly from this donation.

The piano is a unique fixture for a traditionally quiet library, but users need not worry— headphones are provided. The piano will be available this summer. We encourage you to come by and try it out!
