Voice, Clarinet, Saxophone, Oboe,Flute, Piano, Theory, History and Musicianship

Study music in a friendly relaxed atmosphere devoted to music. Our studio is full of musical instruments, music books, recordings and tools to build and maintain instruments because we are full time professional musicians

First time students are always pleased and surprised to find out music lessons can be more fun and interesting than they had ever imagined. We love music and we want to give you the tools and abilities to experience music from inside like we do.

You don't need to have sung for years or already be able to play. Coming to us as a beginner is the best way because we can start you off correctly. We have never had a student that couldn't sing or play and do it well.

You will be studying with trained musicianship holding professional positions/degrees.

We have not only a flexible lessons plan but a flexible approach to teaching. Every student has different needs. Some students are casual and an hour of enjoyment playing is all they are looking for others want to perform or have careers in music. Our proven success as teachers has been as a result of our understanding of what the student needs.

Flexible lessons

You can change your lesson times from week to week to match your schedule and that way you don't lose money paying for lessons you can' t make.

When you pay for a full month of lessons you may have them any time during that month.

We have an online calendar so you can log in and change your lesson. We only need 1 day's notice to change lessons . Most people just book the same time each week and then change it as needed

We have students of all ages, taking lessons in Clarinet, Saxophone, Flute, Oboe, Recorder, Voice, beginner Piano and Theory.

Our students have scored top marks in Exams, win many concerto and other competitions and year after year are among or are the best young players in BC and Canada, former students have gone on to careers in music as teachers, recording engineers and performers . References are available .
