Frequently Asked Questions
The Kitchener Music Academy FAQ
WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN YOUR MUSIC LESSONS?
That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals.
We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach.
A seven-year-old having their first guitar lesson will have very different needs than a fifty-seven-year-old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child.
The main reason to choose the Academy as your music lesson provider is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual.
When you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson, your teacher will ask you about your favourite type of music and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH?
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, blues, and classical.

When I try to log on, I receive a message saying "The Host has another meeting in progress". Why is that?
Our Zoom Rooms are updated monthly, and new Zoom Room codes are sent out at the end of each month. When you receive an error saying "The host has another meeting in progress", this means that someone is using the wrong month's Zoom code (using the April Zoom code during May, for example!). If this happens to you, log out and double check that you are using the right month's Zoom code. If the error persists, contact us at tkaminfo@gmail.com and we are happy to assist you
