5-year Grand Reopening Anniversary

Our 5-Year Reopening Anniversary

It’s hard to believe that five years ago, we celebrated our Rebranding with a Grand Reopening.

Over the years, the academy’s success would not be possible without our great teachers, front desk team, students and parents. It is not just a company anniversary. It is a family anniversary that has defied all odds to grow strong and achieve great things together.

You are the reason why we are celebrating this special day in our academy. Growing from 300 students in 2017 to 600 students in 2022, we would not be where we are today without you as a part of our extended family.

Join us on November 11th from 4 pm to 7 pm and November 12th from 11 am to 2 pm to celebrate our 5-year Grand Reopening Anniversary. We are throwing a party for everyone with refreshments, face painting, an instrument “petting zoo,” demo classes, and more!

Attendees will also be entered into a GRAND PRIZE DRAWING FOR 3 MONTHS OF FREE LESSONS.

On this special day of our company anniversary, we want you to know that your support and trust have been the biggest drive toward our continued growth.

Thank you for inspiring us to do better over the years.

New Program- Chamber String Group

Chamber group

Mississauga Fine Arts Academy has opened a new program; the “MFAA Chamber Strings” which is conducted by our award-winning violinist and performer Vira.

MFAA Chamber Strings is a group class with the aim to create a mature string ensemble here at the academy. Currently focusing on Violin, Viola, and Cello with potential in collaborative piano and other chamber instruments such as clarinet, oboe, harp, and guitar.

The class includes not only rehearsals for specific repertoire aimed for performances but also warm-ups, sight-reading, rhythm and breathing exercises, conducting and communication within an ensemble as well as contemporary musicianship techniques aimed at improving the group dynamic.

These classes are open to students who regularly take lessons for a minimum of one year on their instrument or had previous experience playing in group ensembles such as Duets, Trios, Chamber or other musical group settings. For more information on how to sign up for a class please contact us at 905-276-0251 or email info@mississaugafineartsacademy.com.

You don’t need to be our student to join the group. Call us today to sign up for MFAA Chamber Strings.
