"I have been a violin student at Vaughan Academy of Music for over 10 years and for each passing year,
I have deepened my love for music and strengthened my technique as a violin player.

All the teachers at Vaughan Academy of Music are incredibly talented and most of all inclusive,

The goal of teaching and exploring music for all people of all ages stands strong within this

My son started taking piano lessons here since March and he loves it. He looks forward to every lesson with his teacher, Helen. He started with in person lessons and when covid started, school was able to promptly transition his lessons to virtual with all info and guidance provided. We never had any difficulties and my son can continue to learn. Price per lesson is reasonable. Bravos to all teachers who continue to make virtual music learning fun and possible for students."

"My son is taking piano, vocal and choir at
Vaughan Academy of Music.
All teachers who are working here are professional, friendly and passionate. My son loves the school, teachers and enjoying his lessons. He has been developing great music skills with teachers help."

Shaohuan Zhang

My daughter has been attending Vaughan academy of music since she was 4. The school has many talented teachers and very professional. My daughter enjoyed going to classes with Ms. Helen, she is a wonderful teacher for kids, very patient and also talented. During covid time we continued with virtual learning which I was skeptical at first but with Ms. Helen's teaching it has been a smooth experience. I would recommend the school to anyone. Glad we found it.
