For its entire existence, the CFSM was located at CFB Borden in Ontario and offered enrolled students with a two-year educational program until it was disestablished in 1991. Enrollment varied with the requirement for musicians. The school also gave a one-year program to CF musicians with experience in the music branch who wish to serve in leadership positions in CF bands. Personnel of the Regular Force who wish to be qualified to as a pipe major have to attend a year long course at the CFSM in order be appointed to the post. A notable instructor at the EMFC includes James Gayfer who was the director of the Band of the Canadian Guards from 1953-1961. CF's musical training establishment of today is known as the Logistics Training Centre Music Division of the Royal Canadian Logistics Service. (en) |
