Sam Gagnon’s Music Academy

We believe that everyone can learn music. Our most popular program is by far our piano group lessons. We recommend this program for all kids starting at 5 years.

We also provide guitar and singing lessons, as well as private lesson options for all instruments we teach.

Our students, whether they are young kids, teenagers or adults, have many opportunities to play along professional musicians and play the music they really like. Even beginners have the chance to play at our concerts every year, which is a fantastic opportunity for kids and parents alike!

A Vision for Change

Get A Free Trial Class

Many people do not have good experiences with music lessons when they are young. Sam, our founder, showed no talent and his teacher even told him to quit when he was six years old! Yet today, playing the piano and teaching are his greatest passions, leading him to believe that music should be accessible to everyone. His vision for the academy is to grow in an inclusive environment of openness to others and musical curiosity. The pieces that are part of the standard curriculum of the academy are among those that the students have appreciated the most over the years, to which are added some popular pieces of the moment! Whether you are an adult or a child, you will find a safe place to be yourself, develop your passion and meet new friends.
