Music Lessons Reimagined

At Creative Expressions Music Academy, we believe that learning music - at all levels - should be engaging and fun!

Our focus is to develop intrinsic motivation in each child by helping them fall in love with their instrument from their very first lesson. Kids should be EXCITED to go home and practice! It shouldn't be a daily struggle.

This is Why, at Creative Expressions, We Do Things a Little Differently

  • Two orange music notes, one eighth note and one beamed eighth note, on a white background.

    Music

    Students learn catchy, engaging music with practice apps, backtracks for practising, & teacher duets.

  • Blue icon of an open book with a musical note above it.

    Theory

    Theory doesn't have to be boring... kids ENJOY learning with hundreds of games, apps & resources.

  • Yellow stick figure playing a piano with musical notes above.

    Practice

    It's easy to encourage practice at home with FUN studio challenges & AMAZING prizes up for grabs.

  • Green icon of a person with arms raised inside a pair of headphones.

    Performance

    With 4 recitals every year, students get loads of experience polishing their pieces & performing.

A group of six people, including four children and two adults, are smiling and raising their arms in celebration. One person holds a sign that says "Music Camp Rules: Be Awesome, Be Kind, Be Fun, Be You!.

As a Parent, We Want You to Feel Supported, Included, and Comfortable With Us Too

    Teamwork

Cory has worked with my daughter and she really has improved. She has had teachers in the past. Never has she had such a positive experience. She is constantly on the piano without being asked. Thank you for the encouragement. She really has grown!

Creative Expressions Music Academy has been an exceptional transition for our family. My elementary school aged children have been thoroughly engaged by their teacher Jacob Herd. He has prioritized exploring their curiosities with music and is helping to foster their love of creating while learning musical fundamentals (emphasis on the "FUN"). Jacob is kind, considerate and encouraging and has a terrific set-up for hosting lessons in his home - I entirely recommend him as a music teacher!

Our daughter, Anya really had a wonderful time learning from both of her teachers. Teacher Gemma, her voice teacher and Teacher Amy her piano teacher. Anya always shared to us when she gets home what she learned every after lesson. As parents, we are happier when we see our daughter enjoying and having so much fun both in her Voice lesson and Piano lesson. Creative Expressions Music Academy offers an incredible program for kids to learn music through play and just having a great time and on top of that they have wonderful and amazing teachers.

Annette and Amy are wonderful, fantastic teachers! Always patient, and making sure each new concept is explained and understood before moving on. We have a thirty minute slot and every minute is utilized with theory, practice, or a fun game so my students are engaged without being overwhelmed.

In the recent months I have started voice lessons with Gemma. Before starting lessons, I did not realize how complex singing actually is. Not only has Gemma taken the time to break down and teach me every aspect of vocals, but she has also taken my voice and created specifically catered exercises for me based on where I'm at. She then has taken these and showed me in depth how to continue to build on this. She is a wonderful kind, polite, and patient individual and she makes my experience in this training so much fun. I would recommend this academy and Gemma to anyone. The professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail this academy and Gemma possess is impeccable!

My daughter started vocal lessons with Gemma in the spring, and loved it instantly! Singing brings her joy, and she gets to learn new skills every week. She is involved in choosing the songs she learns, and the program even makes taking the time to practice every day fun with challenges.
