I’m pleased to announce the appointment of Thom McKercher as Program Co-ordinator of Humber’s new Music Business graduate certificate, which is launching this May.

Thom is uniquely qualified to lead a program that imparts practical knowledge of the music industry as well as business and project management skills. Over the last 30 years, the Canadian music industry has undergone significant change, and Thom has a comprehensive understanding of its history and current state. He got his start with many years of music industry retail experience as the general manager of Sam the Record Man’s Yonge Street flagship store, and has spent the past 21 years as the director of the classics and jazz department of Universal Music Canada.

A pianist by training, Thom holds an honours bachelor’s degree in music education from Western University. His experience and knowledge of a fast-changing industry will ensure Humber stays at the forefront of music education in Canada.

Please join me in welcoming Thom to Humber.
