Coja Music Academy

Harmony House Music Studio in North Vancouver is amazing. I take voice lessons, group performance and vocal ensemble there and look forward to ever class. Not only does it teach you valuable skills it gives you a stronger understanding and appreciation for music. The teachers are catered towards you and are focused on improving skills you lack in and making skills your good at even better. They encourage you to dive into many different genres of music which you might not have even looked at before. Opening your eyes to and allowing you to experiment with all the different music thats out there. Another great thing about Harmony House is the people. They are wonderful. Its like its own fun and accepting community, anyone can feel at home in. I am new to Harmony House this year and instantly felt welcomed by everyone. One of the best things about Harmony House Studio is that we get so many performance opportunities such as the end of term shows, battle of the bands at the youth centre and my favourite the Sun Run, where we play for the runners to encourage them along the way. Its a fantastic place and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in music!

Harmony House always always been nothing but awesome for me! I've taken drum lessons, performance classes, and just about every other course they have had to offer over the years. Harmony House always provides students with fun teachers and a positive learning environment which can be a rarity these days.. I have made several close friends over the years at Harmony House and wouldn't trade the years of lessons for anything. Sandi herself is the most motivating positive individual out there and her vision for harmony house is spectacular. She truly believes every single student has their own talents and it is her job to bring it all out! Thanks Harmony House :)

How many places are there that can mold any musical instruction to your needs, and push you in the perfect directions to grow both musically and as a person? Not very many, but Harmony House is definitely one of them. I was able to be in a small vocal ensemble with some amazing people and work on group songs as well as solo performance. I have been in many choirs, but this was a completely unique experience for me, and it has helped me in my musical abilities (singing, harmonizing, creating melodies and counter-melodies) as well as public speaking and other skills essential for everyday life.

I took voice and piano lessons at Harmony House for 5 years and it was such a positive experience. The teachers are all so dedicated and helpful, always pushing you to be better. I was also given the opportunity to be in vocal ensembles and various bands throughout the years which was maybe the best part of it all. I learned so many skills (musical and personal) in these programs that have been useful in numerous aspects of my life since. Harmony House is more than just a music school, and I would recommend it to anyone. It's such a fun school to be a part of!

I went to Harmony house for only a couple years, but the kind, knowledgeable instructors furthered my abilities more than several years of lessons elsewhere. The teachers are working musicians, and the material that they teach is very relevant. As a student who is now getting my degree in Jazz and Contemporary Popular Music, I can safely say that Harmony House and the community behind it really helped to get me going down the road I'm on today.Not only are the individual lessons great, but there are numerous opportunities to play in ensembles, which is definitely a vital experience to have for any budding musician.

Harmony House offers a unique approach to learning music, through community based learning that allows the students to work with each other to improve not only their individual musical talents, but to improve how they operate within a band dynamic, a very useful skill with many applications outside of music. Learning at Harmony House is largely student driven, allowing kids to learn what they want to learn, and when they want to learn it. This makes learning music very fun, and avoids the problem of burning kids out with outdated curriculums. I've been taking lessons here for over five years now, and without exception every teacher I have had has been both an extremely proficient musician and a very knowledgeable and helpful instructor. Harmony House allows for a unique mode of musical growth that produces well rounded, and highly capable musicians, as well as encouraging complex co-operation with others. This is the best music school I could have asked for, and I have no doubts I would be a different musician, even person, were it not for Harmony House.

I have been taking lessons with harmony house for 9 years, and I have loved every minute of it. The community of harmony house is very close knit yet welcoming, you will not find anything else like it. Also learning to play a new instrument is an experience like no other, and playing with other musicians will form friendships for life. Another fantastic aspect is learning to play in front of, and talk to an audience because it will boost your confidence. It is like taking a public speaking course! Harmony house music studio is a extraordinary program that has shaped me into the person I am today.

Looking back, it’s easy to see how much Harmony House has helped me grow, not only as a musician, but also as a person. The student directed environment is fleshed out with incredibly passionate teachers and a uniquely structured lesson program. The teachers are clearly talented musicians in their own right, and are always full of great advice for both recording and performance. My favourite part of Harmony House would have to be the group classes. While individual skills are foundational, the group classes create an opportunity for budding musicians to work with other students and expand their abilities in a low pressure, insanely fun setting. The Harmony House community somehow manages to be both tight-knit and wildly inclusive, and one I would recommend to just about anyone!

Harmony House has been a significant part of my life for what feels like most of my life. As a child who was heavily immersed in all types of art based activities, music was always my favourite. Being homeschooled growing up, I never really felt like I fit in anywhere. When I started voice lessons at Harmony House at the age of eleven, I felt as if I had finally found my place" I was supposed to fit into. As a teenager

I took lessons at Harmony House for four years and I would recommend them to anyone that wants to take their musicianship to the next level. The teachers are positive and encouraging, and all amazing musicians in their own rights. There is also a strong emphasis on developing skills for live performances, which is extremely beneficial to anyone looking to play in live bands. This all happens in one of the most welcoming and supportive environments I've ever been a part of.In short, Harmony House offers unparalleled instruction in an ideal environment, and anyone looking for music lessons would be crazy not to go here!
