Top 25 Teachers Award 2024. We have recently been awarded the "Top 25 Music Teachers Award" for 2024 which is very humbling. Thank you to all students and families who make us who and what we are.  Ps. The Badge Award is on the Home page.

How wonderful music education is!
Our current student enrollments feature ages from 5 years to 87. Yes you read that right. Bev has been a piano accompanist for much of her life and recently retired from that. She decided that studying theory would keep her mind sharp. It is her 'brain gymnastics' as she calls it, and looks forward to it every week. She has covered grade 1 and 2 in 2024 and is currently working through Grade 3.
A-MAZING! Then there is Aurelia. At age 85 is currently working on grade 2 piano practical material.
So many more wonderful stories. If you would like to learn an instrument including voice, whether for grades or pleasure, please feel welcome to contact us either by phone or contact form (see below).
