Student success is central to our music school's model. The reason why so many Torontonians continue to choose Neighbour Note is not just due to the level of skill of our teachers, but the level of care and dedication they willingly provide.
Whether travelling around the GTA for private in-home lessons, teaching at a camp, or leading a program with hands-on guidance, our instructors take pride in seeing students succeed.
The years of specialized musical training, experience in the field, and desire to drive students to achieve the best is what sets our music school apart from the rest.
Our music teachers in Toronto make all the difference.
