Our Mission at Dark Mountain Music

Dark Mountain Music isn’t your typical music school. Founded in 2019, we felt a strong desire to shake up the music lesson standard. Our goal? Easy. Regardless of your age or ability level, we want music to be your one of your greatest joys. We also understand that life can be quite hectic. Our music lessons are focused on you. Not only do we tailor lesson lengths and locations so you can easily integrate music into your life. We provide the most personalized music lessons around, so you can remain inspired for years to come.

We completely understand that every student has a different learning style. Since our goal at Dark Mountain Music is to make things work for you, we offer you a choice of three fantastic lesson options

in-home
music lessons

Imagine being able to explore the world of music from the comfort and coziness of your own home. Our incredibly talented instructors will stop by your home, saving you valuable time and the headache of driving.

Online
Music Lessons

Use our online music classes to embrace the wonders of technology. You can pursue your musical goals on your own terms and at your own pace because you can communicate with our excellent teachers from almost anywhere.

Music Lessons at
your Instructor's Home Studio

Don’t worry if your style is more traditional or if your house isn’t exactly conducive to learning. We have everything covered. One of our instructors can provide your sessions at their home, conveniently located near you.

Personalized Learning Experience

You see, our whole focus at Dark Mountain Music is on you and your musical journey. Since music is as unique as each individual, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all strategy.

Our fantastic teachers? They resemble your on-stage companions. They are there to support you, making each lesson as unique as your goals in music. We are here to walk that path with you, inspire you, and assist you in hitting those high notes, one step at a time, whether your desire is to play your favourite pop songs on a guitar, rock out to timeless masterpieces, or delve deeply into the world of jazz improvisation.

Inspiration and Lifelong Love for Music

We understand that the idea of attending uniform, boring music classes might significantly sap your excitement. But at Dark Mountain Music, that’s not our focus. Our lofty aspiration? It all comes down to kindling the flame within you and sowing the seeds of a lifetime passion for music.

Our goal is to motivate you and transform each class into an exciting trip through a musical wonderland filled with melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. We don’t care about your age, ability, or even your most ambitious musical goals. We want to enable you to realize your greatest potential and welcome the wonderful gift of music into your life.

So, what do you say? Come along on this incredible journey where your distinct voice and dreams will be the main attractions and where music is more than just a melody—it’s an entire universe ready to be realized.

  Chancé has been my vocal instructor for about a year and a half. She has been instrumental in my improvement. She is everything a good teacher should be: patient, persistent,  positive, and fun. She pushes when she need to push and provides necessary feedback while cheering you on. Lessons have been great and I would recommend her as a vocal coach.

  Our daughter has been working with Chancé for almost a year and we cannot express how thoroughly impressed we have been with her! Our daughter has made significant strides vocally under Chancé’s tutelage. Chancé is knowledgeable, has a great connection with our daughter, and is a wonderful influence. She motivates, encourages and pushes her to expand her abilities while ensuring she continues to have a love to learn. We absolutely cannot recommend Chancé enough!

  My 3 kids and I have been with Dark Mountain Music for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it! I'm always referring friends so I figured it's about time I left a review! lol The instructor is amazing and makes each lesson engaging and enjoyable. We take singing, piano and guitar lessons. Plus most recently music production. It's great that we can add or change instruments as we go without having to change studios or companies etc.. because they teach them all here. I also like that he comes to us for lessons instead of me having to drag my kids around. Super convenient that way. I've heard from many friends who are with other companies, that their younger kids don't enjoy piano lessons cause they're forced to work on classical music, but you get to play what you love here. You pick the songs to work on. Like my boys are learning video game music and current alternative music. Which is really cool to see and hear converted to the piano. I can't ever see us leaving Dark mountain music!

  I have been taking singing lessons with the absolutely amazing Julia for almost a year now and my experience has been wonderful! Julia is a fantastic teacher. I have grown so much in my time with her and I'm looking forwarded to continuing to push my vocal boundaries with her help. I recently started piano with her as well and I'm loving every minute. Julia is professional, patient, and most importantly, inspiring. My lessons are my favourite day of the week.
