A Music School Dedicated to Montreal’s Community
Established in 2018, Harmony Academy of Music & Arts represents a profound passion for music and education. The academy seeks to foster an uplifting, inclusive atmosphere where students are supported through carefully tailored lessons. Their curriculum reflects Montreal’s rich cultural and artistic diversity, incorporating influences from classical, jazz, folk, and contemporary music genres. Each student is encouraged to embark on a musical journey aligned with their personal goals, preferred styles, and individual learning needs.
Recognising Montreal’s bilingual nature, the school provides lessons in both English and French. Teaching methods are also adapted to suit each student’s pace and abilities, ensuring a learning experience that is both enjoyable and effective.
“We encourage students to explore different styles of music, compose their own pieces, and experiment with improvisation. By creating a supportive environment where students feel free to express themselves, we help them develop their own unique musical voice.”
Embracing Technology in Music Education
Technology plays a vital role in Harmony Academy’s approach to music teaching. By integrating modern digital tools—such as notation software, recording technology, and interactive learning apps—the school enhances the educational experience and remains at the forefront of evolving trends. Responding to increased interest in flexible learning, the academy also offers online classes and digital sheet music, expanding access to music education for all students.
Arash commented: “We continuously research and adapt to new teaching methods, attend music education workshops, and encourage our teachers to stay updated on the latest techniques. We also listen to our students’ needs and incorporate innovative tools in our lessons.”
Nurturing Growth Through Performance
Harmony Academy’s team of experienced, passionate educators strongly emphasise performance opportunities, enabling students to demonstrate their progress and grow in self-confidence. The school’s ultimate mission is to cultivate a sense of belonging and community within its learning environment.
Even when faced with challenges such as balancing affordability with top-tier instruction or adapting to changing student preferences, the academy remains unwavering in its dedication to excellence and inclusivity—key qualities that help it stand apart in Montreal’s competitive music education scene.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Harmony Academy
Arash envisions a future in which music education is increasingly shaped by technology, including AI-assisted tools and immersive virtual reality experiences. He also anticipates a rise in interdisciplinary projects and more flexible learning models. Harmony Academy of Music & Arts is committed to staying ahead of these changes, while remaining faithful to its core values: “Hard work, consistency and a love for teaching.”
