All of our music teachers have studied music, hold impressive credentials and most importantly are qualified to teach every age and level of music. Every music teacher has lots of experience teaching and performing. We are all studio musicians that have either performed in the public or, have trained successfully through either the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) or post-secondary. Everyone at DeGazon Music Studios is very much involved in the music scene in Bolton, Brampton, Caledon and the GTA.
Just some of our friendly & experienced music teachers.
Every music teacher at our music school has a sense of humor and is outgoing. We believe in connecting with our music students and building a personal relationship so that creativity can flourish.
