Welcome to The Leading Note Print Music Store’s new Blog!  This is an exciting new outreach project for us that we hope will be of interest to the classical music scene in Ottawa and throughout Canada.  Our blog will focus on a variety of topics related to classical music and the print music industry.  We will post news about upcoming events and concerts in the Ottawa area, notices about audition calls and other musical opportunities, information about products and specials in our store, advice for teachers, and general articles about musical matters.

Our entire staff (all seven of us!) will be contributing to the blog and each of us brings a unique perspective and interest to the musical scene.  You can read about our staff here.

Of course, we also have a Facebook page.  Be sure to Like us!

We hope you come back frequently!
