Expanding Opportunities for Young Beginners: Now Offering Early Hours!
At Mississauga Fine Arts Academy, we always strive to inspire and nurture the love of music in every student, regardless of age. This commitment led us to launch our Animal Adventure program—a unique offering designed specifically for children as young as 3 years old. Since its inception, this program has become a cornerstone of our efforts to provide high-quality music education to young beginners, and the response has been overwhelming!
Why Animal Adventure?
Our Animal Adventure program introduces young children to the joy of music through engaging, one-on-one lessons. Tailored to suit the developmental needs of early learners, the program offers a perfect foundation for exploring rhythm, melody, and basic music literacy. Kids love the fun, interactive approach, while parents appreciate the personalized attention their little ones receive.
The Benefits of Early Lessons
Enrolling young children in music lessons early offers numerous benefits. Studies show that early exposure to music helps enhance cognitive development, improve fine motor skills, and boost memory and concentration. Music fosters creativity, discipline, and social skills, providing a strong foundation for lifelong learning. By starting early, children gain confidence and develop a love for music that can last a lifetime.
A Growing Demand
We are thrilled to share that this program is in high demand! Many of our current students’ younger siblings have already joined, and we’ve seen firsthand how this program builds confidence and sets the stage for future success in music. The smiles and laughter during these sessions say it all – kids and parents love Animal Adventure!
A Great Start for Young Musicians
One of the program’s most exciting aspects is its ability to give young beginners a strong start on their musical journey. By introducing children to the fundamentals of music in a supportive and fun environment, we help them explore their chosen instrument with enthusiasm and joy. Whether it’s piano, violin, or another instrument, the foundation they build here will benefit them for years to come.
Flexible Early Hours Available
We are now offering early afternoon lesson slots to accommodate young learners:
- Monday: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
- Tuesday: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
- Thursday: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
All lessons are private, one-on-one sessions and are 30 minutes long. You can book a lesson in any available time slot during the hours listed above.
Encourage Your Young Sibling to Join!
If you have younger siblings at home who are ready to start their musical journey, now is the perfect time to enroll them in Animal Adventure. This program is an excellent way to spark a lifelong love for music while making learning a delightful experience. Let us help your little one take their first steps into the world of music!

Celebrating Our Students’ RCM Exam Success! 🎶✨
At Mississauga Fine Arts Academy, we take great pride in celebrating our students’ hard work and achievements. Recently, several of our dedicated musicians successfully completed their Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) exams, demonstrating their commitment to musical excellence.
The RCM program is a highly respected curriculum that helps students build strong technical skills, musicality, and a deep understanding of their instruments. Preparing for these exams requires discipline, perseverance, and guidance from skilled instructors, and we are thrilled to recognize our students’ outstanding accomplishments:
🎻 Nithila K. – Violin, RCM Level 2 – 87% (Teacher: Ms. Anastasiya)
🎻 Dhaarini M. – Viola, RCM Level 3 – 85% (Teacher: Ms. Anastasiya)
🎼 Adesh G. – RCM Level 8 Theory – 87% (Teacher: Mr. Robert)
🎹 Felipe S. – Piano, RCM Level 5 – 78% (Teacher: Mr. Enoch)
These results reflect the students’ dedication and the unwavering support of their teachers and families. RCM exams challenge students to refine their technique, develop musical expression, and deepen their knowledge of music theory, all contributing to their growth as musicians.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Nithila, Dhaarini, Adesh, and Felipe on their achievements! Their success inspires fellow students and is a testament to the incredible talent within our MFAA community. Keep up the great work, and we look forward to seeing where your musical journey takes you next!
Student of The Month
Maria M.!
Congratulations to Maria M., our Student of the Month! Maria began her flute journey in July of 2023. Under the guidance of her teacher, Mr. Riley, Maria has been making fantastic progress and showcasing her dedication to music. Let’s hear what her teacher, Mr. Riley, says about her progress!
“Maria has been a student of mine for a year and a half, and in that time, she has improved tremendously on the flute. This past month, she has demonstrated great improvement and discipline in her playing, and getting over the hurdle of beginning an instrument (especially on the flute) is always a noteworthy achievement. More recently, she has taken piano lessons with me, which leaves me both impressed and inspired by her drive to expand her learning.” – Mr. Riley.
We also asked Maria a few questions. Here are her answers.
What instrument(s) do you play? – Flute and Piano.
How long have you been taking lessons? – One year and a half.
What is your favourite song to play? – “Lightly Row” on the flute.
What is your favourite food? – Desserts.
What is your favourite thing you’ve learned in class recently? – I like learning new songs on the flute.
What is your favourite colour? – Green.
Congratulations, Maria, on this well-deserved recognition! Keep reaching for new musical heights!
