How Are Piano Lessons Different from One Another?

Traditional music lessons have long been built on the model of a teacher working with a student as they develop their instrumental technique, learn repertoire, and study music theory. While these are all important components of music education, they are not necessarily sufficient in establishing and sustaining engagement and relevance with students. This is where Merriam School of Music’s approach is different.

The technique and knowledge acquired throughout each lesson is just the beginning. Similarly, in a sport like hockey, drills and workouts are only a small part of becoming a better player. It’s the application of those skills within a game where the most progress is made. Music lessons in Mississauga are no different.

While traditional guitar lessons, drum lessons, violin lessons, or voice lessons will help you learn the respective musical instrument, they will not necessarily turn you into a guitarist, drummer, violinist, or vocalist. Instead, it is through opportunities like performing concerts within an ensemble that this is accomplished.

The Merriam School of Music provides students with these opportunities at a level that no other music school does. Whether it is through songwriting courses, ensemble programs, or participation in music festivals, concerts, and recording sessions, there is an option for every student to apply what they learn. These opportunities are also extended to our adult students! This ensures that each student becomes a more well-rounded musician and, most importantly, falls in love with music. This is why the Merriam School of Music has become Canada’s leading academy of music.
