Classical Music Conservatory

Classic Music Conservatory is a well-run music lesson school/business with talented, caring teachers, and a highly-organized administration team. My kids took guitar lessons from Brandon Wall and Brendan (can't remember last name!) as well as band lessons for a number of years. They were dedicated, talented and caring teachers. I recommend CMC as a music school.

Classical Music Conservatory is the best place for you or your child to learn a musical instrument or to expand your musical literacy. My son has been 5 and a half years in training with CMC and through the years he encountered the love, encouragement and challenge that made him love music and performance. CMC offers a warm and exciting community for anyone who approaches musical training with open mind and heart. Full-heartedly recommend!

We love this music school! My daughters have really enjoyed both group classes (Musical Preludes) and private piano lessons here. We were also very impressed by the half-day summer camp last year, which added theatre and art elements into the musical mix. The directors and administrators are so kind and supportive as well. Highly recommend CMC!

CMC played a huge role in my development as a musician. I began my journey with piano lessons at CMC and over the course of a decade received all the complimentary learning I required to develop myself as a proficient musician, including preparing me for my BMus from the faculty of music at the University of Toronto. This studio shaped who I am and prepared me for my professional endeavours as an adult. It is a community full of caring and competent teachers who are invested in seeing their students succeed and develop a love of music.

We've been impressed by the excellent music education and the unique sense of community CMC offers. Our daughters took cello lessons at CMC for 13 years - what a great experience! Highly recommended!

We highly recommend this school. The teachers our daughter has worked with over the last few years are amazing. They have a love of music and a desire to pass that on to their students. We love that they always find ways to challenge our daughter and help her grow, while keeping learning fun. Lusiana and Wanda have built a talented and very caring team. We are so delighted and grateful to have found CMC.

CMC is a great place to learn music. Their teachers are highly qualified and professional musicians, and the people at the school have always gone above and beyond in accommodating my needs as a student. I highly recommend CMC for music lessons.

We have been part of the Classical Music Conservatory for many years now and I can only sing the highest praise. Lusiana and Wanda who run the CMC have not only created a wonderful music school but a warm, welcoming and inclusive community. The program recognizes that everybody learns differently and thus the program is highly personalized and the school makes sure to match student and teacher perfectly. I was surprised how spot on my son was placed with his teachers right away. They have accompanied his musical journey from childhood to young adulthood consistently with humor, interest and compassion. The musical education is very high quality across the genres, very well conceived but also always a lot of fun and the class rooms are bright and friendly as is the entire place. Students get the opportunity to perform which, again, is so well organized and thoughtful. I wholeheartedly recommend this music school even if you don't live in the neighborhood!

A wonderful place to learn music at any age. The teachers are knowledgeable, talented and inspiring. I am so grateful I have found this place to pursue my love of music.

CMC is hands down the best music school in the city. They have the best teachers that nurture children's music ability and confidence at any age. My daughter has been going to CMC for over 12 years. They have encouraged her talent and coached her and laid out the path for her to study music at university providing all the support required by organizing all exams and concerts at each stage along the way. We have crossed the city with a 30-40 minute drive each way because they are worth it. They have brought out a confidence and belief in my daughter that would not exist without them. They are the reason she has become successful and believes in herself. I am in debt to them always for truly bringing out her gift.

I have been attending CMC for eleven years now, and I cannot stress enough how much the experience has changed my life. Every teacher I have had the privilege of working with are incredibly knowledgeable, kind and inspirational. I never thought I’d want to pursue a career as a full time musician, but the level of support and encouragement CMC has provided has changed my perspective completely.

Lusiana and Wanda are extraordinary people and continuously go above and beyond for their students. I’ve actually had the honour of being taught by Lusiana myself, and without a doubt, she is one of the best teachers and people I’ve ever met. Both provide an exceptionally professional and welcoming environment for everyone to learn and succeed, and I can say with confidence that they care more than anyone about their students. Attending CMC guarantees excellent service and skills for life; I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in learning and truly cannot say enough about what it has done to help me succeed and fall in love with music.

My sister and I have been taking lessons with CMC for 8 years now. My lessons with them are something I have continuously wanted to pursue because of the warm and most friendly environment that CMC shares. Every single person I've worked with at CMC has been very kind and has been very helpful in my musical journey. It is evident that CMC has incredible care for their students and families involved, and I love the joy they get from seeing their students happy.

I can't say enough about CMC! My daughters have been taking lessons (piano, vocal, and guitar) for 8+ years at CMC and the teachers have all been fantastic! There's something very special about CMC - Lusiana and Wanda (the directors) truly care about their staff, students, families, and the Roncesvalles/Parkdale community. My daughters have learned a ton about themselves through their lessons and recitals at CMC and have had lots and lots of fun along the way. Thank you, CMC - you rock!
