Celebrating Growth: CM & RCM Music Programs

And—It’s Almost Time to Register for 2026 Certificate of Merit!

At Dennis Frayne Music Studios, we love seeing our students shine—both on stage and in their personal musical journeys. One of the best ways to support and recognize that growth is through participation in structured music exam programs like MTAC’s Certificate of Merit (CM) and the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM).

Summer Camp #2 Completed!

Thank you, Miss Suzanne, for hosting our second and final summer camp for 2025! The camp was very successful, with three wonderful musical campers! I enjoyed watching their closing performance with their parents and families, which included each student playing on the piano and drums, along with an artistic display of musical crafts!

Several families have recently taken advantage of our referral program. You should, too!

Successful Summer Camp #1

Shout out to Miss Suzanne for hosting and teaching this past week’s summer camp! Students learned some piano, drums (with guest teacher, Mr. Austin), practical musical skills, and even created some cool musical arts & crafts pieces. Then they performed in a spectacular recital for family and friends at the end!
