About Harmony House Music School
Harmony House Music School
Training musicians since 1993
Music for EVERYONE!
“Music and performance are life-long skills that connect you with others in very special ways. Whether it’s your family, your friends, or a professional career; the ability to make music will change your life. And the good news is… you’re never too old or too young to begin!
Personalized education and life skill development is at the heart of our program, come explore and see where your heart leads!
When I went to post secondary school to study music I really just wanted to be a better musician. I was terrified of performing and desperately wanted to become un-terrified. Like so many music students, I spent most of my time studying theory and history and academics, and taking private lessons. The performance opportunities I experienced were highly intimidating and many of my collegues quit because of it. There were so many times I wished for non-competitive community music school that just lets you focus on improving your skills; where you can study with the great teachers and learn to get better at performing through supportive performance experiences.
I believe music is meant to bring people together to experience something greater than ourselves. That is how it is used in so many “underdeveloped” countries. (ha!) I wanted to create a program that would bring families together in celebration of our awesome children and awesome parents and awesome grandparents. I wanted to foster a sense of fun and personal connection with music. And I wanted to create a program that would give students of all ages the opportunity to collaborate and learn from one another. There is really nothing more inspiring than seeing your peers achieve results.
My passion is truly community Love through music expression. The power in the moments when we witness people discovering their greatness is awesome; in watching and hearing students persevere and progress; in witnessing students support and care for one another. It’s just so beautiful. And from this Loving supportive community it is truly AMAZING where students musical journeys take them.
The HH developed over the last 23 years in direct resonse to supporting the dreams of the students enrolled in the school. This program now has a proven track record of igniting life long passion in it’s participants, and for many professional careers. From professional players and vocalists to recording engineers to music directors to song writers and teachers, our alumni are all doing great things in the world, each one standing out in the crowd with a reputation not only for being an awesome musician but also an human being.
Curious? Let us support you to explore where your heart leads! ”
