To make sure your child gets the focused attention and inspiring musical start they deserve, we reserve class spaces only when families book in advance; this guarantees an experienced instructor will be ready and waiting just for you.
Because our classes fill quickly and every spot is precious, we kindly ask that you provide your credit card when booking; you will only be charged $7 if you do not attend your scheduled class.
This helps us keep our classes running smoothly for everyone and ensures that no eager young musician misses out on a valuable learning opportunity.
Your peace of mind matters: there are no charges if you attend, just an open door and a warm welcome at AGMS!
Spaces fill fast!

Words from our current and former students
Patrick assisted
by Odessa (instructor)
I have been consistently impressed with the professionalism and enthusiasm of all the staff at AGMS.
Recitals are very much a special event for both the students—as they learn decorum and stage presence—and the parents. It is quite the event for all the kids.
I hope we have many years of music lessons here.- Gretchen. A, parent

Quick answers for new families
1. What ages can join?
ARIA program is for children ages 6 to 12
PRELUDE program is for children ages 13 to adults or for transfer students who want to study music in the traditional format.
FunTime Music is for children ages 3 and 4
FunTime Piano is for children age 5
2. How do I pick the right class or program?
Visit the page of the program you are interested in our website or chat via email with our friendly Studio Concierge, at agms@shaw.ca, who will point you in the right direction.
3. How flexible is the schedule?
Choose the class time that works best for your family at registration; your child’s spot is then reserved for the whole academic year, so there’s no scrambling for a place each term. If you ever can't make it to the Studio on time, enjoy the flexibility to join that week’s lesson online via Zoom or watch a teacher-recorded class in your family’s Practice Space account. This way, your child keeps progressing and you never lose value, even during busy seasons.
4. Can my child enroll mid-year?
Absolutely! We welcome new students throughout the year. To ensure a smooth start for everyone, enrollment happens at the beginning of any month you choose (other than December and June). Just pick the month that works best for your family. Your child can begin their musical journey with us right away!
Our Mission
Join a studio where every child’s unique strengths are celebrated, discipline meets creativity, and families find support at every step.
