Opus School of Music and Conservatory is known for its highly qualified instructors who have a wide range of expertise and teaching styles. Our instructors work together to develop a high level of musicianship in our students and community.
After an initial assessment, we match every student to the right teacher for their skill level and personality. Some teachers specialize in early childhood learning, others in preparing students for performances and examinations.
Even though each student has an individual teacher, we are one big family! Joining our studio is a great way to make friends and meet people passionate about music.
Our instructors have been certified by the Royal Conservatory of Music to train students for the National Piano Certification Exam. Students interested in this program should speak with our director, Marisela Smith, when they do their trial lesson and assessment.
