Nova Scotia Registered Music Teachers Association

Find a teacher by location

Choose a location from the list at right.

When you choose a music teacher, whether just for personal enjoyment or to prepare for exams, you need to consider the teacher's -

  • musical education and background,
  • level of experience,
  • personality,
  • studio atmosphere,
  • program offered.

We suggest that you set up interviews with prospective teachers, ask lots of questions, and get a feel for the their personalities and communication styles. Do they make you feel comfortable? Do you understand their explanations?

Private music lessons should be an enjoyable experience with benefits that reach beyond the studio!
