But Asylum for Art Academy also offers a host of music lessons for people of all ages. If your child is interested in music, check out the Asylum for Art spring lessons!

Asylum for Art Academy has been bringing quality musical education to kids across Canada for over 30 years. They moved into their flagship location in Bankview just before the pandemic and are offering classes for everyone from babies to adults. Their goal is to give you a high-end music lesson in a fun atmosphere, with dedicated and experienced teachers, whether you choose group classes, clinics, or 1-on-1 lessons.

~~Asylum for Art offers a wide variety of spring lessons and classes for kids of all ages. Check out a sample of what your child can discover!~~

Early Childhood Education

Young children are naturally drawn to music. Asylum for Art enhances their experience, first with parented classes and then independently, with a musical education that inspires singing, listening, and moving. With time for exploration and wonder, these classes develop a greater understanding and passion for music. Take a look at classes like Wigglers and Wobblers to attend with your baby, created as a special weekly time to learn songs and rhymes for clapping, swinging, and tickling their little nose and toes. Young Movers and Curious Movers and Music are parented classes for toddlers and preschoolers, and the Preschool Music Class and Kinders are both independent. You can also check out Family Yoga.

Children’s Classes

This spring, Asylum for Art is offering Theatre for Imagination for children ages 5 – 10 years. This program lets the kids indulge their natural inclination to imagine themselves inside their favourite story. They will develop their singing voice, confidence, and physical coordination, focusing on the basics of introducing movement to a song, the concept of adopting a character, and giving them a chance to interact with a peer for a scene. The class will be divided between singing, acting, and choreography, with a performance to cap the semester.

Youth Classes

Help your pre-teen and teen pursue their interest in music with youth classes from Asylum for Art. This is the age when kids really start excelling in their passions and can easily start something new, too! Check out Campfire Guitar Bootcamp 101 for Youth. It’s for kids ages 9 – 15 years and whether they are beginners or experienced, they’ll have fun with the opportunity to play and sing fun, varied songs. The songs are written out in an easy-to-understand format and variations are included to expand their technique. Class size is kept small so students receive personalized instruction and the setlist is chosen primarily by the students. Looking for more? Youth can also consider Intro to Videography for Youth or Composition for Youth.

Of course, there are also other Guitar Lessons available and 1-on-1 Lessons in strings, piano and voice, for the best way to focus on a specific topic and completely tailor your learning. And Mom and Dad can take advantage of music lessons, too, as there are many adult classes!
