What is music education, and how can it benefit my child's development?
Music education is the process of teaching children about music and its various aspects, such as melody, harmony, rhythm, and composition. It can benefit your child’s development in numerous ways, including improving their language and literacy skills, enhancing their cognitive abilities, fostering creativity and imagination, and promoting social and emotional development.
What age should my child start learning music?
Children can start learning music as early as infancy, through exposure to music and movement activities. However, formal music lessons usually start around age four or five, when children have developed basic skills such as listening, following directions, and finger coordination.
Do you offer private or group music lessons?
We offer both private and group music lessons, depending on your child’s age, skill level, and preference. Private lessons provide one-on-one attention and customized instruction, while group lessons offer a social and collaborative learning environment.
What types of instruments can my child learn to play?
We offer a variety of instruments for your child to learn, including piano, guitar, violin, voice, drums, and more. We can also provide guidance on choosing the right instrument for your child based on their interests and physical abilities.
Do you provide instruments for students to use during lessons?
Yes, we provide instruments for students to use during lessons, but we also encourage students to have their own instrument at home to practice on.
How long are music lessons, and how often should my child attend?
Music lessons typically last 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the age and skill level of the student. We recommend students attend weekly lessons to maintain consistency and progress in their learning.
What is your teaching philosophy, and who are your teachers?
Our teaching philosophy is based on providing a supportive and engaging learning environment that fosters creativity, confidence, and self-expression. Our teachers are highly trained and experienced professionals who are passionate about music and child development.
How much does music education cost, and do you offer any discounts or scholarships?
The cost of music education varies depending on the type of lesson and duration. We offer discounts for siblings and multiple lessons per week, as well as scholarships. Please contact us for more information on pricing and discounts.
How can I sign up my child for music lessons?
Can music lessons help my child with special needs?
Yes, music lessons can be beneficial for children with special needs, including autism, ADHD, and sensory processing disorders. Music can improve communication, socialization, and sensory integration in children with special needs, and our teachers are trained to adapt their teaching methods to accommodate each student’s unique needs.
Do you offer recitals or performance opportunities for students?
Yes, we offer recitals and performance opportunities throughout the year to showcase our students’ progress and achievements. We believe performing in front of an audience can help students build confidence, develop stage presence, and gain valuable experience in a supportive environment.
What is the cancellation policy for a music lesson?
We require 24-hour notice for a lesson cancellation or rescheduling. If less than 24-hour notice is given, the lesson will be forfeited and no make-up lesson will be provided. However, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we will work with families on a case-by-case basis to accommodate any scheduling conflicts or emergencies.

MUSIC THERAPY with Ms Cassidy Call 905-697-2951 to register Does your child have exceptional learning skills? A diagnosis of ADHD? ADD? ANXIETY? AUTISM SPECTRUM?A.D.H.D 🙃🙃🙃 Take my hand and come with me, I want to teach you about ADHD. I need you to know, I want to explain, I have a very different brain. Sights, sounds, and thoughts collide. What to do first? I can't decide. Please understand I'm not to blame, I just can't process things the same. Take my hand and walk with me, Let me show you about ADHD. I try to behave, I want to be good, But I sometimes forget to do as I should. Walk with me and wear my shoes, You'll see its not the way I'd choose. I do know what I'm supposed to do, But my brain is slow getting the message through. Take my hand and talk with me, I want to tell you about ADHD. I rarely think before I talk, I often run when I should walk. It's hard to get my school work done, My thoughts are outside having fun. I never know just where to start, I think with my feelings and see with my heart. Take my hand and stand by me, I need you to know about ADHD. It's hard to explain but I want you to know, I can't help letting my feelings show. Sometimes I'm angry, jealous, or sad. I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad. I can't concentrate and I lose all my stuff. I try really hard but it's never enough. Take my hand and learn with me, We need to know more about ADHD. I worry a lot about getting things wrong, Everything I do takes twice as long. Everyday is exhausting for me... Looking through the fog of ADHD. I'm often so misunderstood, I would change in a heartbeat if I could. Take my hand and listen to me, I want to share a secret about ADHD. I want you to know there is more to me. I'm not defined by it, you see. I'm sensitive, kind and lots of fun. I'm blamed for things I haven't done. I'm the loyalist friend you'll ever know, I just need a chance to let it show. Take my hand and look at me, Just forget about the ADHD. I have real feelings just like you. The love in my heart is just as true. I may have a brain that can never rest, But please understand I'm trying my best. I want you to know, I need you to see, I'm more than the label, I am still me!!!!

Overall Rating
I grew up going to Neighbourhood Music Studio! Margrit and her staff are the most dedicated, caring music teachers you will ever meet. I can't recommend them enough!
Two of my kids go to this studio (1 with special needs). The teachers are professional, friendly and offer fun exciting learning experiences for the children. Margrit has fair prices, and is extremely accommodating for children’s other extracurricular activities. She is always available for any concerns or an special requests. I can’t imagine taking my children to anyone else for their music lessons.
My daughter has been taking vocal lessons for several years now. She enjoys her lesson tome each week and as a parent it is wonderful to hear her progress. Highly recommend
Great Music lessons.👍
This is a wonderful place for kids to learn music. From the patient and well experienced teachers to the owner , my kids have been going here for 3 years now and it’s just awesome!
Fantastic space to learn musical instruments. My kids and I love the staff. Margrit is a gem. Thank you for being kind and patient.
