What Do You Say

We love to hear from our students and their families about how they’re enjoying their lessons and experiences with Skyline Music!

Thank you!

Cindi makes theory lessons fun and whenever I do something wrong, she helps me figure out what the mistake was instead of just correcting me right away. Piano lessons are also more fun and even though we concentrate on music a lot, we have so much fun playing the piano that I don’t even realize how much time is passing.

My experiences with her have been life changing and I have been very lucky to have an incredibly skilled music teacher to teach me how to play the piano.

Lisa is fantastic! She brings the joy of music to all her students. They, along with their parents, truly benefit from her knowledge, experience and humour. My daughter has been her student since she was 3 years old and nine years later continues to look forward to her weekly lessons. Her love of playing piano also continues to grow year by year. We are so blessed to have found Lisa as our music teacher and friend.

Skyline Music Studio has taught and produced many talented musicians, ranging from pianists and guitarists, to vocalists and drummers. All the teachers are very devoted to ensuring the students’ success and are always pushing them to do their best. The studio holds a recital/concert twice a year to provide an opportunity for the students to showcase their musical abilities and what they have achieved/learned throughout the year. Aside from these recitals, students also have the option to pursue exams and follow the Royal Conservatory of Music, allowing them to play a diverse range of pieces and work on their technical skill. Students who do not wish to follow the Royal Conservatory of Music and want to play for the love of music are taught the basics and learn at their own pace, working on songs of interest. The teachers at the studio work very hard to make sure the students are up to date with the current curriculum and that they meet the acceptable standard. However, putting standards and expectations aside, the teachers also encourage students to play simply to enjoy music and are given choices when choosing what pieces they want to play. Learning is not rushed however guidelines are provided for the students to follow. At the end of the day, Skyline Music Studio shows that music is to be loved, enjoyed, and shared, by everyone, no matter their age or skill level.

My lessons with Russ are very chill and laid back; it is not stressful nor is it boring. His lessons are very fun and filled with useful information that help me be a better bass player. Russ has a very easy to understand way of teaching and also a very positive and uplifting mood.

Brian N.Bass student

For the past 4 years my daughter and I have been blessed to have Sheila as our piano teacher. Sheila is able to assess the learning style of her student and then teach accordingly. Her compassion and love of music make each lesson a positive experience. I started taking lessons in my 40’s with Sheila, and due to her encouragement and patience, learning to play the piano is now part of my life. Thanks Sheila!

Angela F.Adult piano student

I like piano classes because you can learn a new thing which is piano. You can also have fun with the songs you are playing. Lisa is a fantastic piano teacher because she teaches students how to get better at music and learn more of it. I like learning piano because I learn more things about the piano, and some of the piano songs are catchy and beautiful. I like playing the piano because you can learn about accidentals which is in theory. The piano theory books let you think more deeply about piano, and if you make a mistake you can learn from it. Lisa is a unique and bright teacher.

Jennifer L.Piano student

I’ve had Lisa as my teacher ever since I was around 6 or 7 years old. I have always loved going to piano class and learning with her over the years. Lisa is a teacher who makes learning piano and theory fun. She has many students who also enjoy going to her school for lessons. Lisa is a teacher who has made a mark on my life, and I am sure on the lives of every other student she has taught.

Anthony T.Piano student

I like learning piano because it is fun and you’re learning. Piano increases brain power. Lisa teaches her students in a fun and stress-free way. She knows how to be patient with her students and I really enjoy learning piano with her. Lisa is a funny, kind and patient teacher who can cheer you up when you’re feeling low. Being with Lisa from the very first second to now has been a fun and extraordinary adventure! Being a student of hers means a very bright future is ahead of you.

Elaine L.Piano student

I have been taking piano lessons from Cindi at Skyline Music for the last two years. Within this time frame, Cindi has been a very encouraging teacher. She has various methods to help her fellow students understand and develop skills. Cindi has a sweet, friendly, and generous personality. This allows me to have a free and questioning mind regarding any doubts I have. At the end of each lesson she tells me how good of a job I did which boosts my confidence in piano playing. Overall, Cindi has been a phenomenal teacher and because of that, I love learning and playing the piano. I highly recommend Skyline Music!!

Kariena S. Piano student

Our son has been taking private lessons with Ms. Lisa since he was 6 years old. All these years, she has been able to help him achieve his musical potential and to bring out the best in him. Ms. Lisa is a caring and patient teacher who fosters a love of music and piano in her students. She also has this unique and amazing ability to connect with young children, thereby, making them look forward each and every week to their piano lessons. Ms. Lisa makes piano lessons fun and enjoyable. She never hesitates to take time out of her busy schedule throughout the week to answer any questions concerning lessons including theory. We truly appreciate all that she has done for our son.

Joseph T. & Yen C.Parents of piano student

Lisa, Russ, and the whole musical team at Skyline are a professional and supportive crew. They’ve contributed to our children’s education, culture, discipline, and appreciation for the fine arts in a fun and inclusive way and without undue formality or pomp. Lisa is especially attentive to her students and sensitive to their changing and evolving needs, both in and out of the studio. We’ve been with Skyline for around 6 or 7 years now and our son remains inspired and still committed to his lessons. I attribute this to the experiences that Skyline provides for him. I’m not certain he would still be as enthused by this point if he had been studying elsewhere.

Remo T.Parent of piano student

I have been taking organ lessons from Lisa Ammirati at Skyline Music Studio’s for some years now. Being an adult student when I started my search for organ lessons only Skyline Music Studio’s offered this course and in retrospect I am delighted that was the case.

The years of tutelage I have received from Lisa has been nothing less than outstanding in her professional knowledge and enduring patience during our sessions even switching over to a piano on occasion to compare the differences of instrumental processes.

I would strongly recommend Lisa and staff for any budding novices or accomplished musicians wanting to refresh or just learn to play the numerous instrumental options available at Skyline Music Studio.

Roger M.Bass student

You have been such a great music teacher, mentor and coach. You have provided me with the musical gift which has enabled me to enjoy and sense the sounds of music.

Phillip C.Piano student

Russ is great! He’s teaching me how to play the Bass Guitar and I love the fact that he knows the music that I like and tries to make it fun! Love the Hawaiian shirts in the middle of Winter!

Katie W.Bass student

My daughter, suffering from a new piano teacher every year at every studio she attended, and clearly lacking teacher consistency when it is desperately needed at the upper RCM levels, came to Skyline Music Studio on recommendation from a friend. The transformation was instant! Lisa took her under her wing and straightened out my daughter’s RCM Level 7 issues that the last teacher could not get past. All the theory was caught up in one summer and completed with stellar marks. Within 2.5 years, my daughter is now testing RCM Level 10 this summer! Her previous RCM exams were stellar as well. Lisa’s magnetic, up-beat, positive personality is felt by all; she breaths the love of music, positive reinforcement and desire for achievement into every lesson so kids want to practice for her. Sheila, her partner, is the icing on top of the duo team, the secret weapon every studio needs for every level of RCM, or playing in general. As a technical master, she has spent time with my daughter adding the final, finicky touches to the music and RCM testing requirements that make the difference between that 89% and 90% examination mark. Skyline is a rare studio where music, a life long skill, will flourish and be loved by the student rather than be hated or dreaded.

Cathie B.Parent

I’ve been a student at Skyline Music since 2009 and I’ve loved every bit of it. From weekly lessons of basic rudiments theory, to working on grade 10 level Chopin pieces, Skyline Music has taken my musicianship to new heights and has encouraged me to grow as a person along the way. Sheila has been my piano teacher since day one at Skyline and without her I would not be where I am today. Sheila has guided me through 7 grades of RCM piano, essentially taught me to read sheet music (I used to play mostly by ear) and shared her wisdom and piano expertise with me. Sheila is an incredibly adaptive teacher and I am extremely lucky to have her as a piano teacher. I would highly recommend Skyline Music to anyone looking to take music lessons.

Mitchell N.Piano student

Best Music School in Airdrie!! I took guitar lessons there for about 2 years and the guitar teacher Russ created an atmosphere that was fun and educational. He really got me to enjoy learning! Whether you wanna be in a symphony orchestra or just play for fun this is definitely the place to go.
