Our School Philosophy

Groove Academy–School of Music provides you with a high standard of music education. All students and instructors come up with a clear plan, discuss goals and direction, before enrollment. Our music programs, are designed to adapt to each student’s needs and how they learn best, (audio, visual, and/or kinesthetic). As a result, each student receives customized music lessons.
Groove Academy insures you are learning from highly qualified instructors. All of our instructors are RCM qualified, hold a university or college degree and are “in” the music business.
Providing our students with an abundance of performance and scholarship opportunities, our students gain stage experience at Groove Academy events and local events around Toronto, nationally and internationally, (all performances are optional).
