Three years ago I decided to start playing the piano again after many decades. After taking weekly lessons for two years, I felt that I was attempting to play pieces that were too difficult and getting frustrated. I decided I needed to change and in my search found ToMA. I called David, explained what was going on. I had a sense that David understood, invited me for a face-to-face meeting and the rest is history. David patiently took me back to basics, outlined a detailed process and over the past year I have learned more about music, music theory and a deep appreciation of music than I thought possible. I feel very fortunate to be with such a caring, talented professional and wonderful organization David has created with Toronto Music Alliance.

We've been with this school for last 5 years, and very happy with our experience. All teachers are very educated and professional. The school organizes events that are so important and memorable - like sing anthem on Marlies game. Kids love to learn music while also making friends.
Warning: only enroll here if you're interested in musical growth of epic proportions, which you didn't even realize you're capable of. TLDR: teachers who will not only superbly educate and instruct, but guide you through your journey to your musical goals. I've been taking double bass lessons from David Stone, the owner, director, etc. of the school, for around 9 or 10 months. I had previous experience with other instruments but had never played the double bass before, and so I decided to at least give it a try. Turns out I love it and consider it my main instrument now, and thanks to David I've made amazing progress!! He excels at helping any individual develop natural, relaxed technique, as well as artistry and musical fluency, on their instrument. He's very encouraging to his students, as well as honest and realistic, and his own passion for music is very contagious. Part way through I've also started taking theory and composition lessons from him, and I must say that the school really lives up to it's slogan of \making music make sense\. David makes it all concise and easy to understand, yet his teaching is still super thorough. His lessons are really well thought-out and planned from the beginning, and he makes them fun and interesting, having blown my mind several times in one theory lesson. All of the teachers are very professional, friendly and knowledgeable, and are high-caliber musicians themselves. They are invested in your journey towards your musical goals, and they know the best way to get you there, and make the journey a delightful and exciting one as well! You'll find someone who's a great fit whether you're looking for someone to teach your child, aspiring to become a professional musician, wanting to simply improve your skills or knowledge, or anywhere in between.
My daughter just finished first semester, and it really gave her enthusiasm for music. It was all thanks to her wonderful teachers. Definitely would recommend!
I've been to my fair share of music schools and this one takes the cake. They teach you not just how music works but why it works the way it does. The education I've gained through going to Midtown for the past few years has been invaluable, but the greatest thing is that the teachers there fostered my love of music and made it grow into something I didn't think possible. Go there and love your life.
