Our private students range in age from 0 - 60 years, and learn a variety of different musical styles on all our instruments such as classical, jazz, blues, pop and rock. Day campers participate in musical games, activities, outdoor time, arts & crafts and making music.
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
"The best music lessons teach children more than just how to play their musical instrument, they give children the skills and tools to change the world for the better. Great music lessons change a child’s life right from the beginning. Our music school attracts parents who want their children to learn discipline, resiliency, empathy, responsibility, creativity and confidence, all while learning to play a musical instrument. Lessons at WSM are engaging, enjoyable and educational so that students are inspired to make music on their own at home and in public for others. Over 300+ families who love music and want to make the world a better place have chosen WSM to partner with them in their children’s musical education."
Who are your staff and counsellors?
"We hire only the most engaging teachers who are university-educated with a degree in music to teach our students. They customize each lesson to fit each student’s needs and participate in training throughout the year to level up their teaching skills. Our teachers love teaching and inspire their students to be creative and curious in their own music-making."
What do families need to know about registration?
"We welcome new students throughout the year, and offer free trial lessons to begin your musical adventure at WSM. To get started, fill out our brief Trial Lesson Request form and tell us what day/time you can come to WSM and what instrument you’re interested in. We will find a lesson time to fit your schedule and set you up with a trial lesson. Once you’ve had your trial lesson, you’ll be invited to register and start your lessons right away!

If music can change the world, Willowdale School of Music (WSM) is helping to lead that change. Offering more than just music lessons, WSM teaches the students the skills and provides the tools to make the world a better place. Started by Sarah Murley-Hauser, WSM has grown from in-home lessons to a multi-instrument music school. Murley-Hauser wanted to share her knowledge and love of music and how it can make you a better person. Lessons aren’t high-pressure, but rather engaging and enjoyable, so students want to keep going and feel confident in their abilities. Teaching staff look to inspire students and they customize lessons to each child’s learning style. Kids learn that failure and hard work are integral parts of success in music, and that neither are a bad thing. Trial lessons help kids decide if they want to continue on a musical journey, and help parents decide if WSM is a good fit.

Sarah Murley-Hauser, Director & Owner
Welcome to the Willowdale School of Music community! Founded in 2012, Willowdale School of Music has grown from being just myself driving around to student’s houses as the Richmond Hill Suzuki Studio, to an ever expanding multi-instrument music school in the heart of North York.
Regardless of lesson location, WSM’s “Why” has always been the same: The best music lessons teach children more than just how to play their musical instrument, they give children the skills and tools to change the world for the better. Put very simply, when we give children music lessons, we are making the world a better place for everyone.
When I was 3 years old, I started asking for violin lessons, and I kept asking until I was 6 years old and my parents gave in. I know that when I started violin lessons, I started practicing the skills necessary to become a better human being. As I learned how to play the violin, I learned:⠀
As I become more and more invested in making the world a better place, all these skills I gained through learning the violin come in hand. ⠀
To be someone who wants to change the world, you need to:⠀
And finally, when you are working toward making the world a better place, you will fail, and so you need to be resilient in failure, get back up again and try again. Music taught me that. ⠀
So I started WSM, because I believe to the depths of my being that music makes me a better person, thus I am responsible to share that with others and give the next generation the tools they need to continue the work left to do on to make the world a better place.⠀
No matter what instrument, how young or old, or how much you know about music already, there is a spot for you at Willowdale School of Music.
I can’t wait to meet you at Willowdale School of Music!
Warmly,
Sarah Murley-Hauser | Director of Willowdale School of Music
