Our state-of-the-art facility, designed with acoustic expertise from Swallow Acoustics, features soundproofed studios, a professional recording space, and a dedicated performance venue that hosts regular student showcases and community events. We distinguish ourselves through proven results, with students consistently achieving success in auditions, competitions, and admissions to prestigious music programs at institutions like York University and Centennial College.Our leadership team combines academic excellence with industry expertise, including a Masters in Music (Ethnomusicology) and over 35 years of management experience in quality systems. We maintain rigorous professional standards through partnerships with recognized institutions while prioritizing personalized instruction that adapts to each student's unique learning journey. Our commitment to musical excellence extends beyond technical training, encompassing performance opportunities at venues like the Toronto Diversity Festival and educational outreach initiatives such as Arctic Circle workshops.

They aided my son in obtaining his goal to be accepted into the university of his choice for BA in music. I am happy and pleased to say that he has reached his goal and will be starting university in he Fall2021. Big shout out to Peter and Vanessa the two teaches that got him there.

I wish I wouldnt have wasted me and my sons time, energy and money in this academy. The person whos been teaching violin to my son had no idea what she is doing.
just asked my son to keep going on few pages on each class while she was working on her own computer most of the time and having snacks instead of paying attention how the 7years old beginner student read the notes or holds the violin!! I am happy that we moved to online classes and I was able to see whats happening in my sons class. When she wasnt even pretending she cares about her class for only 30min, I can imagine

Chorus Music provides an outstanding opportunity for my daughter to learn piano. The teachers are professional and dedicated to students development. During COVID, Chorus provided continuous learning through online classes. Victoria found engaging ways to teach piano online. She made tremendous progress and looked forward to her classes. We are deeply grateful for Chorus, Nita and the team!
