Maziar is one of the most patient and experienced teachers out there in this field. He is very inspiring to his students and I am very happy getting know him almost four years back when my daughter was disappointed in learning piano after trying several teachers. I highly recommend him for kids and youth as well as adults.

I can safely say that Heidari's Music School is one the top music schools in Toronto. We have a 10 year old who has been attending Heidari's Music School since 2016. Our child's learning curve has been phenomenal and always looks forward going to the class. Mr. Heidari's teaching style encourages our child to try to do be better and overcome challenges as the lectures become more mature. Mr. Heidari pays tremendous attention to details and has a lot of patience working with kids. He always involves and invites kids to present for special holidays to enhance the performance capabilities in our kids

Heidari Music School is the best music institute I have attended. I have attended this music school for about a year, and I can confidently say that I have never improved so much in such a short time frame. I would especially recommend one of the music teachers, Maziar Heidari, who helped me incredibly, especially in helping me learn to play actively and make actual music out of notes, rather than passively play notes on a sheet. Also, he taught me special techniques to use in order to improve skills, techniques no other music teacher ever taught me. To add on, even though I go to university in
