Founded in 1984, Arcadia Academy of Music has always strived to be a symbol of excellence in music education in the communities that continue to support us. Accredited with numerous awards, passionate teaching staff, and dedicated support staff; our goal will always be to provide the best music lessons for our students across the GTA. Our roots in tried-and-true pedagogies has led to our continued success, and our vision has always been to share the joy of music to every student that has walked through our doors.
For almost 40 years we have continued to deliver the highest standards of music education across thousands of students in our communities. We specialize in 1-on-1 private in-class and online lessons so that our students receive the attention and care they need to thrive on their musical journey.
Founder – Carmine Di Rauso Sr.
We have several programs that strive to provide students the opportunity to approach music on their terms. From rigorous conservatory programs to open-ended contemporary programs – students will have the opportunity to find a learning style that best suits them. We also offer a wide array of group programs that range from band to theory classes to allow students to meet and grow alongside like minded peers.
Our instructors are trained to communicate regularly with parents; we love to share the growth, confidence, and talent with loved ones that support them! Concerts, examinations, and rehearsals keep our students motivated while giving their friends and families a chance to celebrate their hard work and success. Our vision at Arcadia has always been to create a nurturing and stimulating learning environment with innovative and ever-adapting curriculums for every musician that chooses to learn with us.
Students are matched with our qualified and continually trained instructors that best suit their needs, learning styles, and personality. We want to provide a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment filled with excitement, laughter, and engaged learning. We understand that young musical minds need patience and care, and our instructors would want for nothing more than to create a lasting, meaningful bond with our students.
Much like our communities, our instructors come from every walk of life. There are those that tour across Canada, those that teach in Universities and schools, and those that have played music for all their life wanting to share their experiences. Our faculty are diverse in their background, but we all share a unified approach in our passion for music. Communicate to us what you want and we will do our utmost best to find an instructor that best matches your learning desires.
