Our Goal: To help every student find the magic in playing music.
PIANO
Ages: Beginners to adults. RCM Study: A student does not need exams to learn how to play a musical instrument. However, for some students having a goal, such as an RCM examination, may help you become and stay more focused and motivated. The Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) is widely recognized as one of the most prominent music institutions. Upon completing an exam, students move onto the next grade level. Non-RCM: Don't want RCM examinations? No problem. We welcome students who want to take lessons simply for the joy of learning to make music. *Advanced in Music?: Explore other styles of music, including R&B, jazz, rock, and fusion. Learn to combine your keyboard knowledge with cutting edge keyboard-based technology. *Price for class will be dependent upon program. Program: All programs are personalized. Price: $25 for a 30-minute class. No HST. (Lessons are purchased in a package of 4.)
