We are excited to hear your experience.

My daughter Hania Arshad has been studying in this school. She's a pianist, playing piano, and it's been almost like five years. That has been good, so we are quite happy.
Hania had the pleasure of starting her first piano class with Mr. Jerry, and they had a really great connection, and he's been very supportive, and they just got along very well, and that kept her engaged, and as well as over the COVID period of time, she did remote lessons, and she decided to continue with them.
Even after we moved out of town, we still come for these events twice a year, because she truly enjoys it, and it's also a way of bonding with her father, because he also likes piano.
I'm not much into music. I don't have this inclination or talent, but what I've noticed is that the teachers are really engaging in the sense that they are consistent. They show up for class on time. They are patient with the child. They provide, you know, the proper environment.
The school itself is very welcoming from the staff that meets you at the door, till you meet your teacher, and they always provide feedback, and to us, that is very important to know what is our child's progress, and what we can do to help them better.
I had a pleasure meeting with Jerry, and he's quite meticulous, and he has that music sense that I always look forward to, and I found Jerry, and now Olivia, been really good, and quite satisfied, and especially Jerry had that little detail that he always stressed on, and I see my child improved every year after year, and that's why we have been here.
Although we are out of town now, we live in close to London, Ontario, but we are still here, at this music school, because of course, there is a big satisfaction behind it.
Since our daughter started playing piano, we noticed that her attention span has increased. Her self-confidence has risen to higher levels than before, and that's due to, especially due to the recitals, where she gets a chance to play in front of an audience, which she never really had the chance before.
And also I noticed that the passion for piano has helped her strengthen friendships with other classmates, who also play piano, and whenever they had the opportunity to, you know, for a play day, they would play piano together, or when they had the school event, the principal would have them to play a piece together, and that has helped her enhance her social skills, and just overall wellness, like even when she has, you know, a more difficult day after school, she would just go into the piano room and play a piece or two, and come out more relaxed.

My daughter, Anisha, she started her piano classes in Mississauga Fine Arts Academy since October 2022. The main reason behind picking Mississauga Fine Arts Academy is the way they interacted with me when I was looking for the registration process. I mean, I was clueless, like I come from a background with no music background at all. So I was not sure like how to, you know, check for what aspect should I look into. And this was the first school that gave me complete information, and the registration process was completed within one day. It was like a breeze.
The moment you enter into Mississauga Fine Arts Academy, you forget about everything else in the world. It's so peaceful, serene, and the kids are well-behaved. The receptionists, they're always friendly and welcoming. The support that faculty extend and the way they treat the kids is commendable.
Well, I see a remarkable improvement in Anisha's focus, and I owe it definitely, a large part of it, to her music classes with Miss Mariana. She's more confident, and today also like when they asked, what do you like about music? She clearly said that it's the one thing that makes her feel more confident, and that's what I really like about this music journey with Fine Arts Academy.
Whenever I see Miss Mariana, I just feel like I see a guardian angel. She is a wonderful human being. She always treats Anisha with so much love and affection. And even when Anisha is stressed or she doesn't think that she's doing well, she always pats her and she's there to support her all the time. I don't think I can get any teacher better than Miss Mariana ever in Anisha's music journey.
Definitely Mississauga Fine Arts Academy would be a couple of steps above the other music academies based on the experience that I had. I would definitely recommend this academy because everything is so streamlined and systematic. Like let us say one day my kid is sick, I inform them, immediately they're ready to arrange makeup classes or an online class.
If there is any change in the schedule, it's never like a last minute update we get, and everything is so friendly and truly professional.
Student
I've been with Fine Arts Academy for five years, and I play the violin. Violin has always been a really big interest for me. It just displays the emotions of the heart, and it's the best instrument in my opinion.
My teacher is Miss Vira. She has always been there for me, whether I need her outside of school or inside the school. She is always the backbone of all my performances, and I could not have done any of this without her.
My appreciation for music and the music industry always kept me going, not to mention my violin teacher who was always there for me and kept me going all these years.
Obviously the stress of school is very unbearing, and a lot of people go through it, and I find that I'm able to release the stress and release all emotions through music, and it helps me kind of regulate my emotions.
This school is amazing. It is the best music school I've ever been to. All the teachers are always there for you. The staff is very welcoming, and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to start music.
Brother
My sister has been studying the violin at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for the last five years. My sister loves being a student for this academy for a long time, as she gets the opportunity to express her emotions and the way she feels through the art of music.
The atmosphere at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy is very supportive. It's built to support the student and to help foster the best musician that they can be.
So at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy, they have the wonderful opportunity for the student to participate in recitals, and so a special experience that I had was seeing my sister perform at these recitals for Mississauga Fine Arts Academy, and I got to see all the hard work being put into a performance.
From what I know, her instructor is always there for her. She's very accommodating whenever my sister needs any help with her violin lessons, and overall very supportive.
I would definitely recommend this for anybody that wants to learn a new instrument. If you want to learn music and learn how to play an instrument, Mississauga Fine Arts Academy is the place to be, due to the supportive environment, the inclusive instructors, and the helpful teachers.
Student
I play the piano and the violin. At first, piano was kind of like a passion, so I thought I'll do it. And then they I was searching to do like for two instruments, and I thought I might do drums like my brother. But then I noticed maybe I could try something new like violin, so I started violin and piano.
My teacher is Miss Mariana, and she is, she is like very motivating, and she helps, me a lot. It's just like, like when I'm like sad, or when I'm like happy, it just like changes the mood again. And then I have to work my way through.
That's why I like, because I want myself to be better, and my teacher keeps on saying to me that you, you are going to be a great pianist. Mississauga Fine Arts Academy is amazing. Very nice people in there.
Parent
Music is not just about the music itself. It brings discipline to children's lives. So I think the discipline with sitting down, learning a piece, you know, trying to master it, and then the satisfaction that you get, you know, when you master a piece and you can perform, and the joy that it brings.
So the gift of music that you can bring to, you know, parents, children, if somebody comes over, you know, a child can play a piece. So I think it's just, it just brings the best out of a child, brings that discipline out, you know, focus, and it applies not just to music, it can be used in so many other respects.
So whether it be sports or academics, relationships with other students and parents and so on.
So I think it's, it doesn't just come down to music, it's what it can bring to the rest of your life. Mississauga Fine Arts Academy has amazing teachers. They're always smiling, they're always, you know, trying to bring out the best in my sons. My children are always very happy to go to the academy.
They wake up , you know, in the morning, for example, do a recital, they're really excited. It's just brought out a lot of confidence and, you know, the feeling that they can do anything that they want, whether it be music or in any field, as long as they put their work.
I think that's very important that they have to put in the work and the discipline, but if they do so, you know, the sky's the limit really.
Student
My teacher is very nice, and she excites me about music.
Well, I used to play the guitar, but I felt it was too hard for me. However, violin, since it's a string instrument like the guitar, since I had already developed skills with the guitar, I thought that it would be easier to play the violin, and I think that helped me.
My teacher makes me feel like I'm making a lot of progress with playing the violin.
One of the memorable experiences I've had at the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy is playing in my first recital. As I started playing the violin, I noticed that it helped me stay focused on subjects such as math and science.
Student
I've been with the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for about half a year, and I play the violin. Teachers are very patient with me, and they really care about my progress playing the violin.
For anybody new wanting to try an instrument, just go to the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy and try it out, and see how you like it.
Parent & Students
So this is Vidya, and she's studying at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for about a year and a half, I think. And this is Shiv, who's studying piano, who just started about four months ago. And Vidya plays the violin, and we've had just a wonderful experience. Miss Vira, who teaches Vidya violin, is amazing, and it's just been a whirlwind, and so inspiring, right?
And Shivy is taught by Mr. Noah, who has been excellent, and has kept him very motivated, and so we're really grateful to the school. So thank you.
I actually did do a couple of tours at other places, but what I loved about Mississauga Arts Academy (and she's been learning violin for quite a while), but what I loved about it was that the sort of like reward system, it keeps the kids really inspired, and just motivated to move forward.
And then the concerts, actually, the concerts are a big thing, because they have two concerts a year. They give the children an opportunity to shine, and to showcase their work, and that's what we really wanted.
The Mississauga Fine Arts Academy is extremely organized, I would say. I love that they are so organized. When you go in there, it's relaxed. The kids love it, and it's really like, it's sort of just a relaxed environment, but it's an environment where they can learn music in a fun and playful way, and that's what's so appealing.
They never complain to go to music school, and in fact, whenever we've had to miss a class, they cry like they want to go.
So that's really telling of what they feel when they go each week. We have actually noticed a big difference with music in our lives, especially with this one here, and what it is, is that I think it's just really built her confidence, actually. And so that takes her through to school, that takes her through to different aspects of her life, and she always says, I'm born to perform, and I think that being in music has really elevated that feeling in her, and especially with the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy.
I have told friends, we've had a great experience there, and it's just been a really positive time for both of my children who play instruments.
Student
I'm Vidya, and I play the violin. My teacher is Miss Vira.
I like how she's fun, and she just makes me want to play. She makes it really fun, and she doesn't stick to one thing, and she keeps moving to other new things, which makes it fun for me.
I really like this music academy, and I will be coming next time.
Parent & Student
We've been with Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for the last two years now. I think this is his fourth recital. He learns piano and violin at the academy, and my younger son learns drums at the academy. I like the staff. I like the teachers. They are so good. They take that additional care, and they teach the kids with utmost patience.
I love the recitals that go on on a periodic basis. It gives them an exposure to come out and perform what they learned. That's what I like about the music school.
The recitals at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy actually motivate my kid to practice what he's learning. It also gives him a lot of confidence. It kind of takes away his stage fear, because the more number of times he's presenting to a group of people, he becomes more confident. In the last three years, I've seen his focus span improve.
He's more confident even at school when he goes and says that, I know how to play piano, and he's very proud of presenting his skills at school. The atmosphere inside the school is very welcoming. They are very accommodative to changes. If we are not well, unwell, they are rescheduling classes. It's a breeze.
They are very welcoming and warm people at the academy.
Parent
It's my daughter who's studying at the Academy, and she's playing piano, and she's been there for three and a half years now.
She's always had kind of music in her soul, you know, and going to the Academy has allowed her to bring that out and to continue to practice something she loves, music.
Well, we chose this Academy because they have a number of really talented pianists, and we've been lucky to find some really great instructors there that have a, you know, really good chemistry with our daughter. So that's essentially what led us there and what has kept us there.
We have recommended the Academy to many of our friends, and they've gone to study there, and they've all been very happy. This is a place with very kind, friendly staff, lots of great instructors.
It's in a great location in central Mississauga, a perfect spot for our daughter and our friends to study.

Hello, I'm Mateja. I've been playing classical guitar at the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy since 2015, which means that I have been a part of this amazing family for about five years now, and what I really love about our school is definitely the energy of the teachers. They all have this professional demeanour about them. I mean, you can always talk to them about anything music-related, and they will always know what they are talking about, they always know what they are doing.
The other thing I really like about our school is definitely the many competitions you can enter, like for example, there is the Kiwanis Music Festival, that's one; there is also my personal favourite the Peel Music Festival, where you can compete for medals and ribbons. I actually have one right here that I got last year for first place at the Peel Music Festival.
So, I personally would strongly recommend Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for anybody that wants to learn music here in the Mississauga area. Teachers are always very patient, and they will help you play music to the best of your ability and even understand music theory, which was something I thought I couldn’t do, but here I am today with the help of Mississauga Fine Arts Academy.
Students
We love Mississauga Fine Arts Academy! My name is Madeleine and I've been taking piano lessons with Mrs. Nadia for four years.
Hi, my name is Sophie and I've been playing piano with Mrs. Vera for two years. -- We love Mississauga Fine Arts Academy because all the teachers and staff are super encouraging and supportive.
We love playing piano! If you are thinking of taking music lessons, make sure to check-out Mississauga Fine Arts Academy. They are the best!

Hi, my name is Noor and I'm currently a Violin student at the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy. Ever since I was younger, I always dreamed of playing the violin, and the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy has helped me grow tremendously with every class that I take.
In the two years that I've been enrolled in this school, there's this one program that I truly enjoy. Every few months you earn either a bracelet, or a trophy, to showcase that you are learning in those past few months. From the most welcoming staff to the most talented teachers, this is the music school you want to go to.
Student
Hi, everyone. I'm Hannah, and I've learned the piano at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for five years. Everyone there is really welcoming and friendly. The academy is a very lively place where you get to learn new things and make new friends.
I've recommended a few of my friends there, and they had learned a lot of fun and interesting songs and techniques. If you are someone who would like to learn an instrument, you should definitely learn at the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy.
Parent
Our son has been attending the academy since July 2019. He plays the guitar, and we have a phenomenal instructor who provides constructive feedback, a lot of helpful tips, and hints throughout the session so that we walk away with some additional information to help practice throughout the week. We have been fully engaged with the academy as well, in terms of communication, as they use technology in a very productive way, and I appreciate that, especially in these difficult times right now.
So, being able to continue with our guitar lessons, helps to support the continuation of the routine that many parents need during the time that we are all home and trying to get through this time. So, I'm in a position to say I would recommend the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for the simple reason that we have seen progress in our child's development with the guitar, we have seen a lot of interaction and engagement with the instructor, and lastly, as I said earlier, the engagement with us as parents in keeping us informed about the updates, changes and the initiatives that are happening has been in-point. So, we have no issues, and we are very happy.
I actually wish that they were around many years ago when I was taking piano lessons which probably would have been a lot less tears on my end. Anyway, wishing you all the best - thank you!

My name is Pocholo, and I play guitar at the Fine Arts Academy. I've been attending classes for two years. Michael is my guitar teacher.
I love the fact that he's inclusive, open, truthful, honest. Michael doesn't lie to me. He tells me what's better for me to be a better student. In the past two years, I was able to play songs like "Faded" by Justin Bieber and a wide variety of different themes from classical, acoustic songs. I learned different types of chords over the past years. It's been only two years.
So guys out there, music is fun. Just go for it if you want to.
Students
Hi everybody, my name is Emma and I've been in the Academy for over 1.5 years, and I like to play the piano. And the thing that I like about the academy is that they teach me a lot of songs, and I like my teacher. They teach me a lot of songs. I play different songs every day.
Hi, my name is Felipe, and I've been also playing the piano, and I've been also in the academy for 1.5 years. And my favorite thing about the academy is that they have really good teachers, and I like to go to the academy because they teach really good, they help really good, and they are really nice.
And I also recommend it because each day you learn different songs, but the one thing is that you have to practice. Yeah, practice makes it perfect. All right. Thank you for watching.
Student
Music is a way to connect everybody. My name is Fiza, and I play guitar at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy. I've been attending guitar lessons for seven months. My teacher is Jack, and I really like his teaching style because he listens to what you want to learn and teaches you what you're interested in.
I've used my skills playing in front of my friends, and I really like it. One of my other friends got inspired when I started to play an instrument and bought a guitar. She asked me to teach her how to play. Anybody can make music with anything. The world is literally music. You could take the floor and start stomping. That's music. You could take a ball or spoons and start hitting. It's music. So, anything in the world is music.
Student
My name is Khyathi, and I play the violin. I've been studying at the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for almost three years. My teacher is amazing. She makes you feel like you belong every moment, even if you make mistakes, even if you make things wrong, she always makes you push forward and go forward, and when you finally learned how to do it successfully, that's the sweet thing I get from it, and that's why I learned violin. I think music is something that's for everyone.
You don't have to be a musician. You don't have to be an orchestra player. It's for everyone. No matter how good or bad you think you play, satisfaction at the end of the day is that you do learn how to play an instrument and when you face the hardships and finally learn how to play, it's that sweet success that I think everyone should want to play for.
Student
My name is Noor, and I play the violin. I've been playing violin for about a year my teacher is very nice and very helpful. When I make mistakes, she helps me a lot so that I can perfect everything. I like that I learned new techniques every day, and I learned how to play smoothly.
Other kids should really try music, and they'll find out how much fun it is.
Parent
We heard about the Mississauga Fine Arts Academy from an online review. Our daughter has been there for about nine months now. My husband and I went and visited the school, we had an immediate connection with the piano instructor, and my daughter immediately felt very comfortable, very at home.
She has become more focused not only through her piano practice but also through her schoolwork and homework. She was very shy, and now, through doing these performances and concerts, it's really helped to bring her out of her shell.
Parent
My daughter has been in this music school for about a year, and she enjoys coming here. We started with another school. But because the teaching method, which doesn't match our requirements, is a little bit too high for the kids, she gradually lost interest in music, and I found that very serious and then I came here. I usually look around for the schools, and I found a school that looks professional to me. I tried for a month. It came out very well, so we decided to stay here. I am finally satisfied with my decision. I already recommended my colleague's son to come to the school because I found that kids need to build more interest in music at a young age than the technique in the music.
Teachers here are very nice, patient, and always encouraging, so the kids are interested in coming to school. Unlike before, when I told my daughter we have a music school today, she wouldn't want to go. Now she says, oh yes, I want to see Miss Lesya. So that makes it very good for kids to learn music. Every day when she's practicing, I don't need to push her much. I just say, okay, it's the time, and your teacher asked you to do what? She says, oh yeah. That means they have a very good relationship between her and her teacher.
This recital is very good. Actually, I prefer if they can make more during the year. It would be awesome. It's a way for kids to gain more confidence, and it's good for them to perform in front of the public. That's another way to encourage them to practice at home. We always tell them to prepare themselves for performance. You might go to the concert one day. That's very encouraging for kids.
Parent
My name is Neetu Grewal. This is Jai Grewal. Jai plays the guitar he just started about two and a half months ago. He is very first time at a recital for him, very first time performing. We love it. The group's been amazing. We've had to miss a couple of classes and they've offered makeup classes. Everything is been amazing for us so far. It's such a great experience for the kids to experiment with instruments. We've learned today that there's gonna be rock bands which he absolutely loves. So just to grow it's another scale it's like another discipline. He enjoys practicing at home. It's great to see all the other kids that are there practicing and doing well and performing. It was really good.
Parent
My name is Farah and my daughter was performing here today at the living art centre and she was playing cello. She loves it. My two other boys are also planning to get admission into this music school. It's good to see all the kids performing. Music is a good activity and you should encourage your kids to get involved in such kinds of productive activities. Instead of playing on iPads and other things they should be involved in music.
Once you are involved in it you can open up the computer and try to do music on your own. My daughter creates different tunes on her own and she's an inspiration for my other two kids.
Student
My teacher today is playing at the concert and I'm pretty excited. I feel like he's very adaptable and he's very kind and generous. I've been playing for 7 years but my current teacher at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for me is the best.
Parents
I found the school to be very friendly. It's a safe environment. It's very bright, the rooms are spacious. The large waiting room and they have a lot of instruments that they offer to teach there at the school. I found it to be very inviting, very comfortable, very safe. I would highly recommend and would have other people go in and take a tour even, maybe try some lessons and go from there. Highly recommend it.
Parent
My two kids are taking piano classes. Both of my kids love it. They've been improving a lot and they enjoy it. I recommend it to people as well. When we see our friends we tell them that they should go and check it out.
Parent
My daughter has been taking classes at Mississauga Fine Arts Academy for nine months now. She started off very shy and not being able to play anything. The faculty is really nice and she loves her teacher. She's a totally different self after that and she has shown incredible skill and over time it has been great. We'd like to continue lessons.
