Parent & Student Testimonials

"Six solid years of music study for three sons covering a mixed bag of interests: piano, drums, guitar, tenor saxophone, music theory, and participation in the exciting Rock Band Ensembles, and we're still going strong! Consequently, The Music Studio has become a vibrant part of our family and turned me into an ardent Music Mom.

Six amazing years which flew by as the boys were busy growing up, learning and valuing music. The Music Studio in Etobicoke (Toronto) genuinely puts the student first in a friendly and caring learning environment. The school effectively teaches by example, with abundant encouragement, and promotes personal excellence in its students. The annual student recital, in June, showcases its shining students in a wonderfully impressive venue.

Six rewarding years during which each of the boys have been studying respectively with the same music teacher while building friendship, trust and understanding. Our sincere thanks to Ed Lettner and his professional staff of dedicated music teachers who make each year more inspiring, and, above all, for keeping their students grounded in the love of music!"

Roxanne - Parent

"I have been taking lessons at The Music Studio for the past 6 years now. Over these years I have obtained quite a repertoire of instruments and ensembles ranging from guitar, to piano, to music theory, and many more amazing classes such as the Rock Band that The Music Studio has to offer. Playing the guitar is my greatest interest and passion in music. I have learned so much from my inspiring guitar teacher, Dave Mattar, that no song is too great a challenge. Music has altered my outlook on life either by my schoolwork or more importantly, how I listen and appreciate other people's music. I understand now that music is a story, and when played allows a person to express their story and feelings to the world. This is what drives me further in my goal of seeking the true meaning of music. All in all, The Music Studio has changed my life and it can change yours too."

"My son has been taking drum lessons from The Music Studio for the past 3 years. His drumming has excelled to a level beyond my expectation. Two years ago a band ensemble was created. What a wonderful experience for the students to combine their efforts and hear the wonderful results. The teachers are punctual, professional and positive and a wonderful influence on the students. I would highly recommend The Music Studio."

"At The Music Studio, Ed provides an atmosphere that is relaxed, stimulating and fun. I am pleased that my five-year old daughter looks forward to each lesson!"

Ruth - Parent

"The structured and mature learning environment is what I was looking for and I found it at the Music Studio. The teaching staff really know how to encourage you to achieve your goals and have fun at the same time regardless of your knowledge level. I especially like the ensemble programs and dedication the staff have to involve students in different learning activities."

George - Adult Student

"I have been studying the drums the last 6 years with Ed at the Music Studio and every lesson from the beginning has been a new and exciting learning experience. Learning the drums has opened me up to the musical world and the knowledge you obtain can lead you to so many fun and different opportunities such as joining a rock band which has created incredible and long lasting memories. To be able to play music is a wonderful talent to have and that is why it will always play a major and important role in my life."

Matthew - 17 year old current student at The Music Studio

"I knew that keeping my son interested in music lessons as he became a teenager would be a challenge. His classes at The Music Studio are a great balance of what he needs to do to learn and what he wants to do to enjoy it."

Laurie - Parent

"...just thought I'd let you how one of your former students is doing. Many of the big ideas ("Play in the pocket" "Less is more") you emphasized have stuck with me and I pass on the same advice to my students. You are a great teacher and nurturing educator and thanks to you, I am also enjoying a career in teaching music."
