We've Been Creating Musical Minds for More Than 20 years!
Our Philosophy
For more than twenty years, Musical Minds Academy of Music has instilled a love of music in generations of students.
We believe a child’s introduction to music should be in a fun environment so they can develop a desire to continue with their musical studies.
All of our piano teachers are well-qualified with university music degrees and years of experience.
And, we keep each class size small to ensure that your child gets the attention they need to succeed.
Our Musical Mind Method™
Our Musical Mind Method is a unique teaching program specially designed for young children.
While learning to play the keyboard is an integral part of the program, our music lessons also put great emphasis on training the musical ear through exercises that develop pitch recognition, rhythmic sense, and a knowledge of basic
harmony.
Much of this is done through peer-based games, making the classroom at our studio, conveniently located in Richmond Hill, a fun and creative place to be for your child.
Our teachers are all involved in curriculum development so that your child can benefit from their combined experience.
