What People Are Saying View more testimonials

"My daughter loves going for lessons at The Music Studio – that’s how I know we made the right decision.

The Music Studio organizes several activities for the performance enjoyment of the students, their families and even the greater community. They offer family fun workshops and a variety of lessons.

Part of our decision to try The Music Studio was based on the recommendations of friends who had only praise for the instructors. When I asked my daughter why she liked going so much, she reaffirmed the previous sentiment with, "...he’s very, very patient and kind, he helps with my weak areas and works off my strengths – and he makes everything clear."

As for us parents, we get weekly progress reports and the pleasure in knowing our daughter ALWAYS WANTS to go to her lessons."
Stacy - Mother of a piano student at The Music Studio


"My daughter has been attending the Music Studio for the past 2 years and always looks forward to her piano lessons. I was worried that she would lose interest but her fantastic teacher has continued to keep this musical spark alive. The learning environment at the studio is very friendly and accommodating and there are an abundance of performance opportunities where my little pianist can improve her skills. I appreciate that Ed is always adding new ensembles and classes to meet the needs of this musical community." Julie - Mother of a piano student at The Music Studio

Musical Tip of The Month

Just as playing an instrument or singing is an art form with skills to be acquired, so is listening to music. Anyone can benefit and derive great joy from any style of music by listening with an active mind and improving their musical listening skills. The more detail you are able to hear in a piece of music, the more the music reveals itself to you in terms of it's emotional content, instrumentation and technical requirements.
