This studio follows the graded system provided by CONSERVATORY CANADA.  The  conservatory  offers  two  curriculum  streams:  classical  and  contemporary  idioms.

The  classical  stream  exposes  students  to  all  genres  of  piano  works  from  the  Baroque  era  to  contemporary  Canadian  compositions.  The  contemporary  stream  focuses  on  jazz ,  pop,  and  contemporary genres.

 Conservatory Canada  is an accredited institution within Canada and is recognized by the Ministry of Education.  Students  who  take  exams  at  Gr.7  or  higher  can  obtain  high  school  credits  for  music.  

All students must work towards fluency in technical requirements and perform to the best of their ability a minimum of six pieces for their grade level.

The WunderKeys program is designed to give beginners 5yrs and up a solid grounding in piano skills, note reading, and rhythmic understanding.  These books are story-based making them engaging and memorable for young learners.  Hilarious dialogue, loveable characters, cartoon illustrations, great music, and a hands on approach set the stage for an enjoyable and successful start to piano lessons. 

 During a WunderKeys lesson your child will participate in musical activities both on and off the piano bench created to build confidence, increase enjoyment, and solidify musical concepts.  For parents, these books make it easy to assist your child at home even if you have no prior musical experience.  The WunderKeys method will set your child on the path to develop a life-long love of music.

All students are encouraged to explore music in all styles including classical, jazz, pop and current new music by contemporary composers. 

 Each student follows their own program of study which may include performance ensembles, theoretical or historical studies, examinations or composing.

Students may choose to work towards the completion of practical piano exams, participation in competitions and recitals, obtaining high school music credits, or towards entrance to music programs at colleges or universities. 

The goals for each student are established each Fall and assessed throughout the year.

To  supplement piano  studies,  this  studio  runs  educational  clubs,  challenges  or  events  which  students  may  choose  to  join.  It  is  a  great  way  for  students  to explore  music  beyond  piano  lessons!

A motivational and fun way for students to work through technical exercises for each grade level.  

All  students  start  in  Grade  1  at  yellow  then  work  up  to  the  final  “black  belt”  level.  Students  perform  a  final  evaluation   for  each  level  and  receive a  certificate.
