2021 has been a challenging year but we’re so glad we have one constant companion in our lives- music!

We’re proud to say we’ve grown beyond the boundaries of our city and our country and we’re truly a global community now!

As you can see from the Newsletter, we try our best to include activities to sharpen various musical skills and make music learning fun. Over the years, through these events, friendships have developed and students have supported each other in their musical journeys.

While we don’t make participation compulsory, we encourage everyone to be a part of these activities so that they fully experience the joy of music and being a part of our Studio.
