The piano is a timeless instrument that transcends age, offering endless opportunities for learning and personal growth. Our lessons cater to all ages, from young children to adults, fostering a love for music that nourishes the mind and spirit throughout life. Starting piano lessons early can have lasting benefits for children, enhancing cognitive development, motor skills, and emotional expression. However, it’s never too late to embrace the transformative power of music. Adults can also reap the rewards of piano study, such as improved mental agility, stress relief, and personal fulfillment. Learning the piano requires passion, determination, and commitment. For those choosing an instrument for the first time, the piano is a versatile and rewarding option. Its wide range of notes and expressive capabilities make it the perfect foundation for exploring diverse musical styles and techniques.

Synth/Keyboard Lessons

Want to do more than just play the piano? Our synth/keyboard lessons let you experience complete creative control over your music!

With your piano teacher, you will be able to explore your keyboard and push your abilities past the limit. A synthesizer keyboard comes with controllers and other fun knobs and switches to add depth and your own personality to your music. Some synthesizer keyboards have an Aftertouch feature that allows you to increase or decrease sound depending on the pressure you add to the keys while holding them down. Or add instruments to the classical piano sound for the illusion that you’re surrounded by an orchestra.

Learned how to play the ukulele this spring. Todd was very good as an instructor - and even though I was a lazy student (didn't do much practising 🙁 , I learned how to play - despite myself! Now, That's! amazing. Was a fun set of sessions.

I have had the privilege of teaching guitar lessons and rock band classes at Elite Music Academy and being a rock camp instructor at Toronto Music Camp since 2008. Elite is a great place to work. The owners are friendly and supportive. The staff is pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. The other instructors are top notch professionals who are a joy to work with. I can't say enough about the talented students I have had at Elite over the years. Their eagerness to learn, and the interaction I have with them, has been very motivating and inspiring for me. I hope to be a part of the great team at Elite for many more years.Todd Lefever

Love This place. It has 2 great owners and many wonderful teachers who will teach you everything you need to know about your instrument. it has many great programs such as rock which is run during the year and the Toronto Music Camp which is run in the summer for 5 weeks and is one of my favourite programs the school has. I have been with the school for lessons, rock band and the Toronto Music Camp for about 4 years and i love it. Elite Music Academy is one of the best music schools in Toronto and it always will be. i recommend this place to anyone who wants to take music lessons.

My daughter took piano and voice lessons at Elite and attended their Toronto Music Camp for two summers. She loved her teachers and has passed her RCM exams rather quickly. Her teachers mixed the lessons with classical training and pop music to keep it interesting while still providing a solid music foundation. Their store is warm and welcoming; the owners obviously have a passion for what they do. I also loved how they got the kids performing out in the community and recording their music. Seeing my daughter finally perform on a professional stage made all the back and forth to lessons worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

It can be, especially for children or adults with little time or patience. But there’s other factors to consider when choosing piano vs. guitar.
Neither is better. But you should research the difference between classical and contemporary piano lessons ahead of time
Ideally, fifteen minutes every day should be set aside for focused practice sessions away from noise and distractions. Quality is more important than quantity. When students forget to practice, the piano lesson turns into more of a supervised practice session, which wastes money and slows progress down.

 

Yes and more! Our pianists perform in local coffee, theatres, and clubs. We’re a performance based music school. Also, check out the open mic night venues along The Danforth.
We’ve written extensively on the benefit of music lessons for children with ADHD. Research has shown it can grow new brain fibre connections in the area of the brain that is typically underdeveloped in children with ADHD.
No way! We offer free rentals for new students for two months. We also sell digital Yamaha pianos lower than other local music shops in Toronto.
The average age when kids can sit calmly and focus through a 30 minute piano lesson is five. However, if your child shows a lot of musical talent and interest, starting at four is not unheard of. Allow your teacher to select an appropriate piano method book for your child’s age.
We’ve prepared an extensive FAQ here to answer your questions.
A trial lesson is the best way to determine if a teacher is right for you. During your trial lesson, there are 6 things you should consider when shopping for a piano teacher.
Adults face different challenges than kids when taking piano lessons for the first time. Here some great tips to succeed.

 

Buy a metronome! It takes some getting used to, but it’ll put the brakes on that runaway freight train tempo and help to stabilize your child’s sense of rhythm. Most digital pianos have a metronome built in. Ask your teacher to use the metronome in the lesson.
