EXCELLENT Based on 75 reviews Posted on Dessy DaskalovTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely LOVE CMC! Our kids, now 7 and 9, have been attending for years and it has been such a wonderful experience. The teachers are incredible—not only do they teach piano skills beautifully, but they also cultivate a true love of music. It’s been amazing to see how much our boys have grown, both musically and personally, by continually working on a skill in such a supportive, encouraging setting. Lusiana and Wanda do a fantastic job running the school, and it’s clear how deeply they care about the children. CMC has been such a positive part of our family’s life, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly.Posted on Glocer WangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Classical Music Conservatory is a great place to empower students to learn and enjoy music by offering high quality classes and consultative approach. My son started taking Saxophone lessons a year ago, and quickly realized he wants to focus more on music theory and piano. The teachers and staff at CMC have been great providing high quality learning experience. We are really happy to see how much progress my son has made through the tailored classes, passing RCM grade 7 exams in just a few months time. My son is looking forward to another wonderful year ahead. Thank you!Posted on Tehseen JaafriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The CMC are more than just a music school, they are family! M three children have been studying with them for 6 years now and the relationships we have built will last a lifetime. Lusiana and Wanda run the school with deep care and attention and I am very impressed by their prompt and professional admin team. We look forward to learning with the CMC for a long time ahead.Posted on Dimitry AnastakisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our kids have been in CMC for piano for a decade now, and it has been a fantastic experience for both of them. The teachers are excellent as is the administration of the school itself. It has been a pleasure so far, and we look forward to many years to come!Posted on Allison Sletcher (earth concerns cleaning)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Classical Music Conservatory has has made our dreams come true and enriched our life with music. I always wanted to play the violin and was thrilled when my son at 4 said he wanted to play the violin. It takes more than a wish to play and CMC has led us through all the stages. When our lives are busy, they always find time for us. Their teachers are professional accomplished musicians that give so much more than just a regular lesson. They go above and beyond year after year. I am in awe!Posted on Kyra MillanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was so impressed with Wanda and Lusiana’s school, where my two kids attended lessons, that I partnered on a new business with them which we ran together; a highly successful musical theatre program for 7 years that grew exponentially, and produced new original musicals created by their students. Wanda and Lusiana are huge lights in the community and as their friend, I cannot rave enough about the quality of care families receive, the high level of teachers they have on staff and their attention to detail. Their integrity, thoughtfulness, passion for finding the right fit for all of their students, high level of excellence and huge hearts are a gift to our community.Posted on Darrell CoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Almost our entire family has been taking music lessons at CMC over the years. We most recently packed up and dropped our son off at university and in the process have been recalling the best parts of his journey to get there and a big piece of that has been his incredible 12-year+ experience at CMC. Thank you CMC!Posted on Robin RussellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son, daughter and husband have attended the Classical Music Conservatory for piano, guitar and vocals lessons. I attribute my son's love of music and guitar to the influence of this music school and it's excellent teachers. The school provides a very inviting and encouraging space for all level of learners. The lovely people that run the school make sure that your children are matched with a suitable instructor and I felt confident that they had my child's best interests at heart. I truly feel like they enjoy fostering a love of music in your child as much as you do. I highly recommend CMC!!!Posted on Tina TseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CMC is a welcoming, nurturing and wonderful music school. My daughter started her journey in the Musical Preludes class in kindergarten, and has taken piano lessons for many years with her dedicated, kind and supportive teacher, Cheng-Feng. CMC offers high-quality, high-calibre music lessons with excellent teachers. We love CMC and highly recommend it to all families!Posted on Elsa LiuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The teachers at CMC are wonderful, and my children have been students here for 10 yrs!! Starting since kindergarten and now one has just finished middle school. We are extremely pleased with the amount of support, from the teachers (Louise) and the staff. The recitals twice a year really help with performance- and it’s a real treat for the parents to attend.

I have two children that go to CMC and their schedules are pretty hectic. The staff are always willing to accommodate and make our lives easier. Thank you for caring about each child's development (matching with the right teacher) and for being as flexible, efficient and professional!

Our experience at CMC over the past 3 years has been fantastic. Our daughter takes piano lessons and every teacher she has ever had has been so nice, professional and knowledgeable--they are awesome at making learning fun while teaching excellent technical skills and musical theory. The directors of the music school are also very experienced and organized, and provided a very hands-on approach in making sure our daughter's teachers were always a good fit. When we moved overseas, we were so sad to have to give up this amazing musical education, but with COVID-19 and everything going virtual, we were thrilled to be able to sign our daughter back up for virtual lessons all the way from London, UK! And the virtual lessons do not disappoint--quality is just as good. They were very accommodating, made the transition back to CMC so easy and we are so grateful!

Fantastic Choice for a Music School!! CMC's website states that their school “is about you”. This is so true! 3 members of our family (kids and one of the parents) with different musical interests and ways of learning each had a great experience with their singing lessons. The teachers worked in ways that both increased their appreciation and enjoyment of music and matched their ability. They also motivated and encouraged at all ages and stages over the course of many years. Both kids kept up their lessons until they graduated. The school provides many different opportunities to learn in class, to perform in competition and to perform at end of year recitals. There was no pressure though to perform and you can pick the way that works for you. For example, my child who absolutely did not want to perform at the recital was given an alternative to share their work through doing recordings. The administration is also very supportive and respectful. They communicate early and are responsive to any questions and concerns. You get a sense that everyone cares about what they are doing and how the student’s experience is. They are open to trying different ways to ensure they find the right fit for you.

Our son spent years taking violin lessons here. He progressed from a few screechy notes to be really great, now performing for real audiences and doing really well in his high school orchestra. His CMC instructor took him through this journey and has somehow felt part of our family over the years. Really great experience.

I have four children, all of whom have done music to an advanced level, and this is the most amazing musical education operation I have ever encountered. It is certainly the best run: scheduling, financial arrangements and office operations in general are phenomenal. In our case the actual teaching has been primarily from the director, Lusiana, and she is knowledgeable, adaptable, disciplined and a great teacher. Our daughter is learning so much and enjoying it all. Recently the theory teaching has been by Skype and it also is totally successful.

My 2 children have been going to CMC for over 7 years, and we are thrilled to be part of the CMC family. The administration is amazing - very professional in all accounts - everything runs smoothly from scheduling, to payments, to general office management. They have a wide array of extremely qualified teachers and go out of their way to find the best fit for you or your child. Everyone is extremely helpful, friendly and organized, making it the perfect place for anyone trying to fit the pursuit of music into their busy lifestyles.

I had the pleasure of learning from some of the best bunch of teachers I have ever come across. Here's some context and unique nature on why I chose to take classes at CMC: I recently got married last month and wanted to surprise my wife at our wedding by playing the violin she played with in her teenage years in front of 290 guests. To be clear, I had zero musicality prior to this unless you count my brief stint with the recorder in grade 3. I literally had to learn from the ground up, with lots of practice and an aggressive timeline of 9 months to complete this challenge. 2 pieces of various degrees of difficulty: Twinkle, Twinkle and All of Me (by John Legend)...Let's just say the surprise was a huge success!! This was one of the most nerve-wracking things I've ever had to do and I could not have done this without the support, responsiveness and adaptability of the team at CMC; namely Lusiana, Wanda and especially Kenin, my teacher! There were times I thought to myself in the waiting area with the parents and students I was going to hear, "who's your child?" Kidding aside, it's a fun, positive and clean environment where people are always smiling. I would fully endorse and genuinely say they try their best to set students up for success. It was so fun and challenging that I may take up the violin going forward. Keep up the great work!

Our two children have taken music lessons at CMC for ten years – flute, violin and music theory. The teaching has been first rate and highly effective. The environment has been welcoming and consistently encouraging to our children. CMC has made participatory music part of our children’s lives. We strongly recommend CMC to parents who want to introduce their children to music.

Our two kids, now teenagers, have been attending various music classes and summer camps at Classical Music Conservatory for over 10 years. They've loved their musical education at the hands of the wonderful and talented CMC instructors. We attribute a big part of our kids' love of music to CMC.

A cozy little gem of a full-service music studio: professional and courteous administration, a wide array of talented teachers for different personalities, and located in the best neighbourhood to kill time in while your kids are in lessons!

I have only good things to say about my family's experience at CMC for the past nine and a half years. The owners, Lusiana and Wanda, have worked hard to create a warm and welcoming environment for students and their families. The physical space is bright, open and appealing, and there are nice touches for busy families such as the "Snack Shack" which allows students to buy healthy snacks to munch on while they are waiting for their lessons. Most importantly, the teachers at CMC are very good at what they do. For the past number of years, my children have had the good fortune to have Sarah as their cello teacher. We have really appreciated her warmth, patience, and good sense of humour. Her skill as a teacher has allowed both children to really improve their playing. I would highly recommend CMC.
