Our son has been a happy member of the Waterdown Music Academy community for years. His instructor has been instrumental in encouraging him to embrace challenging pieces on the piano. The program and staff at the Academy provide more than grounding in musical theory... they inspire a love for music. We should know: our piano gets a workout because he enjoys playing EVERY day.
