The School

Pinnacle Music Studios School of Music is one of the largest music schools in eastern Ontario and the largest in the Quinte area.  Our teachers are dedicated, qualified music teachers whose goal is to instil a love of music in each student as well as promote musical excellence in whatever instrument they choose to pursue.  At Pinnacle Music Studios we strive to offer each student a well balanced curriculum by promoting the 5-subject approach to the private studio lesson.  This approach includes developing sight-reading skills, ear training, technique, performance as well as music theory and history.  We believe each student benefits from goal setting.  In September the student and teacher will establish specific goals, taking into consideration the student’s unique personality and ability.  These goals might include recitals, exams or participation in music festivals.  Goals achieved encourage the student by bolstering his or her self-esteem and also help the student achieve a higher plateau of musical excellence.
