Musician Roster
The sample recordings of our charts have been performed by some of Toronto’s finest musicians. These musicians have donated their time and skills to the project because of they care about Canadian music and about Canadian music students.
Many of these fine musicians have their own projects and teach privately. Clovertone Music is proud to provide links to their projects and business contact information. Check out their stuff or find a private teacher!
