You can schedule one or more of the following:

• You can schedule either a FREE tour with Mr. Andrew who is going to make you try every possible instrument that we teach here.
• If you only hesitate with a couple instruments, you can schedule FREE preview lessons with the teachers.
• You can come assist to one of our monthly recitals given by the teachers and students and hopefully be inspired by one instrument or another.

Every month!! Yes they are free for anyone to attend + family and friends, neighbors, etc!  They usually take place the last Thursday OR Friday of every month at 6:45pm.  They usually last an hour and the students are participating on their own will.

On top of monthly recitals that we call “Performance Club”, we host 2 large concerts.  The END OF THE YEAR CONCERTS, and THE SUMMER CONCERTS.

Unless your instrument is voice, yes it is highly recommended in order to give yourself or your child the best chance to succeed.

Practice is very important in making progress!  If you are not sure about spending money right away into an instrument, we can definitely rent you one of ours. They go from $25 to $50 a month depending of the instrument.

We have a piano program within the Yamaha Music Education system that starts at 3 years old. For other instruments than piano, 6 is the recommended age but we can take them younger if they are very motivated.

Here are some advantages for group learning:

• fun learning environment
• opportunity to play duets, trios and small ensemble pieces
• inspired by our peer’s performances
• much cheaper

And some advantages for private lessons:

• one on one attention from the teacher
• being able to learn, or request to play the song we like
• we learn at our own pace
• The lesson is customized to the student’s need

The short answer is yes.  The misconception that some students have is: “I don’t need to practice because I already know”

The purpose of practicing and instrument is to reinforce the muscle memory, as well as refining the coordination and sound delivery.
Professional musicians, and concertists practice hours a day, even if they “already know”.

There is never a perfect way to play, as every time we play, it is different. Playing is communicating, and practicing is training our body and mind to communicate through music.

For young children, we encourage parents to practice with their children at their beginning stage of their musical journey, until they develop an independency.
