What Can You Expect With A High-Quality Program With Our School?
What sets us apart from most other schools and music stores offering lessons is that our instructors are not independent contractors.
All of our teachers are employees of the Ontario Conservatory (OCOM), holding university degrees in music education. All levels of Theory are taught following the Royal Conservatory Program Syllabus. As a premier Brampton music school, Our teachers are trained to provide the high-quality instruction you expect, while also building lasting relationships with your child to ensure they stay engaged and motivated.
There are many teachers that have attempted to join our team but through our evaluation have learned that in many cases there was no formal training for the applicant. It is very important when choosing a school to know who you are entrusting with your family’s musical education!
