Buzz Buddies

Yes! We offer a free trial class so you and your little one can experience the magic of Buzz 'A' Beat firsthand. Come explore our beautiful studio, meet our instructors, and see if it's the right fit for your family.

Our studio is located at 3285 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4N 2L8—just steps away from Lawrence Station. We're conveniently accessible by transit and offer ample street parking for families driving in. Come discover our warm, beautifully designed space where young pianists build real skills.

For the first 4 weeks, we ask that a parent or guardian stays with your child to help them feel safe and adjust to the new environment. After those initial weeks, parents are welcome to wait in our beautiful lounge with complimentary tea or coffee while your child learns with their peers. If your child has already been attending our previous classes and is familiar with our studio, they may be ready to stay independently from the start.

Ages 4-6 are the perfect time to begin true piano education! At this stage, children have the attention span, coordination, and curiosity to learn real technique while keeping lessons joyful and engaging. Our approach balances focused skill-building with creative play, so every child develops solid foundations without pressure.

We keep our groups small—just 4-5 children per class. This ensures every child receives individual attention at the piano while still benefiting from the energy and inspiration of learning alongside friends. It's the perfect balance of private instruction and social, joyful group learning.

Each 1-hour class is thoughtfully designed to build real piano skills while keeping children engaged and inspired. Sessions include individual piano time with instructor guidance, step-by-step technique practice using specialized books, group rhythm and listening activities, composer stories and musical discovery, creative play with musical buddy characters, and progress celebrations with stickers and rewards. We rotate between focused learning and playful activities to match children's energy and attention spans.

Yes! Daily practice is an important part of building piano skills, but we make it fun and achievable. Children receive practice kits with games and activities that make home practice feel like play. We recommend 10-15 minutes per day—short, focused sessions that build confidence and create a healthy musical routine. As children progress, they'll begin playing more independently and will love showing you what they've learned.

Just bring your child and a comfy pair of studio-only shoes (or soft slippers) to leave at the studio for hygienic entry into our beautiful, clean space. We provide all class materials, specialized piano books, practice kits, and everything needed for a wonderful musical experience.

We offer flexible class times throughout the week, including after-school and weekend options to fit your family's routine. Classes meet once per week for 1 hour. Visit our scheduling page or contact us to find the perfect time slot for your young pianist.

We understand life happens! Please contact us as soon as possible if your child needs to miss a session. We'll work with you to discuss makeup options and ensure your child stays on track with their piano journey.

Each child receives a Musical Passport, where they collect stamps and notes for completed milestones—turning progress into a celebration! We also provide verbal updates throughout the session and invite you to observe during open class weeks so you can see your child's technique development and growing confidence firsthand.

Children are beautifully prepared to continue their musical adventure in our Young Maestros program (ages 6-8), where they'll play full pieces, explore dynamic expressions, and dive deeper into music theory. By this stage, students have solid technique, deep listening skills, and the confidence to continue growing as independent young pianists.
