Toronto School for PIANO FOR NEW STUDENTS: GROUPS SCHEDULE 2011 — 2012: CLASSIFIEDS: SUMMER CAMPS 2012: FACULTY: |
Toronto School for StringsThe Toronto School for Strings was founded in 1999, by Julian and Mary Fisher, to provide their students with a positive and stimulating learning experience. Our faculty of highly qualified and experienced teachers incorporate the best of the world-renowned Suzuki Philosophy, the rigor of the nationally recognized Royal Conservatory of Music Examination system and other approaches tailored to the needs of individual students. Our teachers include accredited adjudicators and performers active in the musical life of Toronto. We emphasize the quality of the learning environment and foster artistic growth amongst all our students, who range in age from young children to senior citizens. Instruments taught include violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, guitar and electric bass. We encourage our students to take advantage of enriching opportunities such as rehearsing with a professional accompanist, or playing with small ensembles or orchestra. We offer a fun and creative approach to theory in private lessons or small groups. We also encourage the implementation of music technology. The core of our instruction is classical by nature, but we also include jazz and improvisation. News and AnnouncementsChamber Music alive and well at TSS!
