Solar Music Academy — Music

My daughter attended Solar Music Academy in Vancouver for her weekly piano lessons, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Sarah, made an effort to engage the kids with fun, creative projects, which really helped my daughter, who is quite shy, to open up. She learned to play a couple of simple songs and even started writing her own. The environment seemed inclusive, and she made a friend in her group. However, I did notice that the waiting area can get quite crowded, especially during after-school hours, which made pickup a bit chaotic at times. We also found it slightly on the pricier side compared to other local options, but the personal attention she receives might justify the cost. I would recommend Solar Music Academy if you're looking for a nurturing and creative setting for your child to explore music.

My 9-year-old son has been attending Solar Music Academy in Vancouver for a few months now, and overall, we've had a positive experience. He is quite shy, but his instructor, Mia, has really helped him come out of his shell. The small group size allows for personalized attention, and they focus on creative projects, which keeps him engaged and excited to learn. He recently built his first melody on the piano, and he couldn't wait to show me. One downside was the long lines during pickup; it can get chaotic at times, especially after classes. However, the staff is very engaged and communicative, which helps alleviate some of the stress. If you’re looking for a creative music program for your child, I definitely recommend Solar Music Academy, but be prepared for busy pickups.
