Monthly Student Open Mic Nights Return This September!

At Elite Music Academy, we’ve always believed that music lessons in Toronto  are just the beginning. Real growth happens when students take what they’ve learned and step out onto a stage. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the return of our Monthly Student Open Mic Nights—back this September and better than ever! Whether you’re a seasoned performer or still finding your voice, Open Mic Night is your chance to shine, connect, and be part of something bigger.

More Than Lessons—A Stage to Grow

As a performance-based music school, our mission goes beyond teaching scales and theory. We’re passionate about creating real musical experiences—the kind that build confidence, community, and lasting memories. Our Open Mic Nights are designed to give students an authentic performance opportunity. Complete with professional sound support, a warm and welcoming crowd, and a laid-back atmosphere, these nights are a perfect blend of fun and personal development. From first-timers to seasoned performers, everyone is welcome to take the stage!

What to Expect

Open Mic Night isn’t your average talent show. It’s a casual, encouraging space where students, family, and music lovers gather to support and celebrate each other’s journeys.

Perform your way – Want to sing solo? Jam with a friend? Play to a backing track? All styles and formats are welcome!
Pro sound support – Our professional sound tech will be on site to ensure you sound your best on stage. You focus on the music—we’ll handle the rest.
Not quite ready to perform? No pressure. Come watch, get inspired, meet other students, and start building your confidence for the future.
Community-driven – This is more than just a performance opportunity. It’s a place to make friends, cheer each other on, and grow together through music.

Whether you’re a regular on our Open Mic stage or thinking about taking that first bold step, we’d love to have you join us.

A Community That Plays Together, Stays Together

Music is meant to be shared—and we’re proud to host events that bring students and supporters together to celebrate creativity, courage, and connection. Over the years, our Open Mic Nights have grown into something truly special. It’s not just about the performances—it’s about watching students cheer each other on, form bands, collaborate, and sometimes even become lifelong friends. It’s the kind of supportive, encouraging atmosphere that only comes from a community of people who love music and believe in each other.

Save the Date

Mark your calendars—the Monthly Open Mic Nights return this September and will continue through the school year on the last Monday or Tuesday of each month. Whether you’re here to perform, support, or just enjoy the show, we can’t wait to see you there. Come for the music. Stay and be part of our growing music community.
