Private Lessons - Click here for detailed descriptions of all of our private music lessons
Private lessons are offered on all popular
instruments and voice. We have found that private one-on-one instruction
allows students to progress at their own pace and gain the best
understanding of musical techniques. Student can start private
lessons as young as 5 years old. Students can start private lessons
any time of the year or month so there's no need to wait to get
started. A variety of styles are taught such as pop, jazz, rock
and classical. Contact the school office in your location to see
which times and days are available.
Exam Preparation
If students wish they may take optional exams
offered by the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM). The Royal Conservatory
is a national testing board that is based in Toronto. The RCM
allows students to test for certain grades in an instrument or
voice. For example a student could prepare to take a grade 2 piano
exam. To do this the student would purchase the grade 2 music
books and learn the required material. Exams are held 3 times
per year at various locations around Langley and Surrey. Most
of our students choose to learn their instrument recreationally
and do not take exams. If a student does wish to take an exam
our school can fully prepare them for any level of testing. We
have helped hundreds of student complete exams successfully.
Recitals and Concerts
Students are given an opportunity to perform
in over 20 recitals held over the course of the year. All of our
music recitals have free admission, so the whole family and friends
can attend to enjoy the performances. Our students have made it
a tradition to bring food bank donations to recitals making the
events both enjoyable and meaningful.
