People are busy these days, we get that.  The Wandering Minstrel Music School has been providing in home lessons in Mississauga since 1982.  We offer a personal touch to music lessons, and we are committed to our local community because we truly care about our customers.

We also operate a music school in the beautiful Village of Streetsville where in addition to piano and singing lessons, we teach guitar, ukulele, saxophone, flute, clarinet, violin and viola.

We offer step-by-step private lessons so that you can learn at your own pace.  Our professional vocal teachers will make sure that you have a great learning experience.   You’ll learn to read music, work on your vocal technique, and improve your vocal range.  Your singing teacher will encourage you to try a wide mixture of music from jazz to pop, classical or musical theatre.

If you’re ambitious, you can prepare for auditions, competitions or the  Royal Conservatory of Music vocal examination.  The more you perform, the more confidence you’ll become in your abilities.

 Age Recommendation

Vocal lessons can begin as early as age 10, but sometimes younger students can take lesson too.  You can arrange a trial lesson to make sure your child has the maturity to handle both the physical and emotional aspects of lessons.

The older the singer, the closer they are to their ‘adult’ voice, and the more responsive they are to understanding and  following instructions.

Your piano teacher will show up at your door each week, energized and enthusiastic about bringing music into your home.  We’ll cover all aspects of playing including reading, theory, technique, ear training and general musicality.

We’ll get you set up with the right books, and you may be surprised at how quickly you’ll learn the basic piano material.   If you’d like to follow the Royal Conservatory of Music guidelines, we’ll make sure you’re fully prepared to take your piano exam.

Age recommendation

We give high quality piano lessons beginning at age 5.  But wait, lessons are not just for kids!  Adults can learn too.  Even if you’re an absolute beginner, we’ll strive to make learning easy for you.

If you’re an intermediate or an advanced player who’s been away from the piano for some time, we’ll help you revitalize you playing.

A traditional piano is best for lesson however we recognize that not all piano students have acoustic pianos in their homes so we are happy to conduct lessons on digital pianos as well.  Digital pianos have weighted keys that resemble the responsiveness and feel of an acoustic piano.

A keyboard is not well suited to having in-home lessons given its small size and light touch.  You can begin your lessons on a keyboard for a couple of months, but eventually you’ll need to upgrade to a digital piano or acoustic piano.

It is difficult for students to sing a cappella (without musical accompaniment) so a piano, digital piano or a keyboard in your home is required for lessons.  During lessons, the teacher will play the vocal exercises on the piano, and accompany  you while you sing.
