About the studio

Music that lasts a lifetime.

Since 2006, Song In My Heart Studio has guided students of every age into a joyful, lifelong relationship with music — following the Suzuki Method and the Royal Conservatory of Music.

Our belief

Where love is deep, much can be accomplished.

Great music nourishes the whole person — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We believe learning to play an instrument is an avenue of expression without compare, and one that brings a lifetime of joy.

Following the Suzuki Method and the Royal Conservatory of Music, we guide students into a positive relationship with their instrument, built on active family support, careful listening, and steady, encouraging progress — at any age.
