Student Success
At BCA Music, we celebrate student success in ways that go beyond trophies, certificates, or accelerated advancement. While achievements like winning a competition, excelling in exams, or progressing quickly are indeed notable and can be exciting, the successes we cherish the most often lie in moments of personal growth, joy, and connection through music.
Take Ethan, for instance (featured in the photo on the side). He is a competitive pianist who has won awards at both local and provincial levels at a tender age.
One day, he gathered his parents, arranging chairs to create a mini-audience so he could perform a piece he’d learned. His mother captured the moment, sharing with us how proud he was to play for his family. It wasn’t about playing perfectly or performing on a big stage—it was about sharing his music in a way that brought his family closer together. Moments like these show us how music becomes a part of students’ lives and identity, sparking creativity, confidence, and a sense of connection.
Then there’s Rachael, who, after hearing an older student play a challenging piece, set her sights on learning it herself. Although she was only 5 at the time, it became her long-term goal, something she was determined to achieve with patience and practice. When she finally mastered the piece at the age of 10, it wasn’t just about the notes on the page; it was about realizing her own potential and discovering the rewards of dedication and persistence.
These are the stories that inspire us and reflect our vision for music education. We believe music shapes more than just skill—it shapes character, resilience, and the joy of shared experiences. Our mission is to provide every student with this kind of growth, where they feel seen, motivated, and empowered by their own journey in music.

FAQS
Our early childhood music programs are designed for children from age 2 to 6. We use engaging, play-based activities to nurture young children’s love for music, introducing rhythm, melody, and movement through fun, age-appropriate exercises.
We offer private lessons primarily in piano, violin, cello, and voice. Our skilled instructors are dedicated to guiding students of all levels, from beginners to advanced players, with personalized lesson plans.
Yes, we offer group classes for beginners, which provide a supportive environment for students to explore music basics and learn alongside peers. Group classes are also a great complement to private lesson, so students get both social and individualized learning.
Chamber music is a small ensemble experience where students collaborate to play music together, such as in duets, trios, or quartets. It’s a wonderful opportunity for junior, intermediate to advanced students to develop listening skills, teamwork, and musical expression. Placement is based on experience level and instrument availability. Chamber music program is designed for students who are currently taking private lessons, either at BCA or privately with their own teachers.

Students have several opportunities to showcase their progress, including recitals, end-of-term performances, and special events such as masterclass. Our choir and chamber music ensembles also perform at community events, providing students with enriching performance experiences.
Yes, we offer trial classes for select early childhood music and group classes so you and your child can experience the program before committing at no charge. Trial lessons for private lessons are charged as a regular lesson. Please contact music@artsonbayview.com for more details on scheduling a trial class.
Children behave differently in the presence of their parents, so in the interest of allowing the space for students to be on their best learning mode, we typically ask parents to wait outside the classroom. However, parents should know how their child is doing and what goes on in the class, so teachers can invite parents time to time to observe their young child’s lessons.
Regular attendance is important for consistent progress. We offer limited make-up lessons for private students with advance notice, while group classes and choirs do not generally offer make-ups. Please refer to our studio policy for specific details, or contact music@artsonbayview.com if you have questions.
