sing – imagine – play – compose – create – build – perform – dream – grow
Locally owned and owner-managed, Music and Play (in July to be The Music Studio) offers classes for all ages including: Group and Private Music Lessons as well as Musical Theatre and Theatre.
Since opening our doors in 2011 and leading the way in how music education should be taught, our spacious West Calgary school is located at the junction of Sarcee and Hwy 16. With a dozen studio spaces for every type of class every day at M&P is filled with the joy of arts education for students from 6 months to 99 years of age.
For us it’s not simply about getting numbers through the door – the company has been built on a strong foundation of excellence and education first. This foundation is supported by company owners and a faculty who themselves have extensive backgrounds in education and the performing arts. Our stringent standards actually pose one of the greatest challenges for the Company, as not every teacher is right for M&P – as much as we might need them to meet our ever growing student requests.
As artists ourselves, we know the joys and struggles in pursuing your dreams – and this is why we make sure that our students (as people – not as billable class hours) come first. This means providing a nurturing, high quality learning environment where they may all achieve.
At M&P we want our students to go beyond the notes, the words and the steps and into the world of creativity and the arts! We want to ensure that whenever our students decide to discontinue their arts education, that they take with them a foundation of knowledge that will continue to serve them for their lifetime.
It can be pretty exhausting running studios like this, but it’s all worth it when we see the growth and joy our students get from being a part of something they love! Thank you for all your support over these past twelve years – we look forward to the future as we continue to grow together and to continue to shape the way performing arts education is taught.
See you at our new studio in August 2024!
