Are we the right music academy for you?

Since 1984 we have helped hundreds of students begin and continue on their musical journey. We offer private lessons in piano, keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, violin, viola, cello, ukulele, tuba, trumpet, french horn, euphonium, saxophone, clarinet, flute, and voice. We also offer adapted lessons and pre-school music classes. We know you are busy and it can be very hard to find a reliable music teacher. That's why we go above and beyond to find the BEST music teachers in the area--so you don't have to!

Our staff consists of experienced music teachers, capable of teaching all ages, levels, and styles. Each of our instructors is passionate about teaching and inspiring students so that practice is not only rewarding but fun! 

While you're researching the best school for you, consider the benefits of becoming a student of The Kitchener Academy of Music and find out why we are your number one choice for music lessons!

The Kitchener Academy of Music is owned and directed by Kandice Kreutner who has been a music teacher for more than 35 years. Kandice is dedicated to making TKAM the most fun place on earth to take music lessons. She believes that creative & practical lessons are the way to instil the joy and love of music in the hearts of students. Her mission is to inspire the entire community to enjoy music together. 

Kandice is joined by many like-minded teachers who excel not only with their instruments but also in sharing their passion through teaching. Each teacher has a University education and has been privately taught and mentored for many years. 

Recently we have implemented our virtual music lessons for everything listed above. These have been so well received that we have continued these offerings, even after our brick and mortar location reopened, to international students, students living abroad for school or work, as an alternative to missed lessons due to illness or inclement weather, or for students who just prefer to learn from the comfort of their own home!

The Kitchener Academy of Music offers lessons on a month-to-month basis, 12 months a year, 7 days a week.

1. Lessons for Piano, Keyboard, Violin, Viola, Guitar, Ukulele, Voice, and Drums -- in one location.

This saves our students time and money, as one family can take multiple instruments on the same day. Other studios offer multiple instruments, but we are the only one to offer these instruments in a high-quality, convenient environment. We welcome all beginners and all levels--no matter what your age!

5. Free performance opportunities!

You just want to know how your child is doing in lessons and if they are really progressing.  The best way to understand if the investment is worth it is to have your child participate in our free recitals. We hold our recitals locally, so you don't have to travel to get a great experience. Unlike most schools, you will never have to pay admission or other fees to participate in our recitals.

7. Picture Day

We want you to be able to celebrate your music and share that memory through pictures, which is why we offer a free picture day to our students.  Students are able to come and get their picture taken by a professional photographer and can bring their instrument and wear whatever they want.  Make a memory with our picture day!  Picture Day photos make great Christmas cards!
