Ava Music & Art Centre –
For A Fun And Enriching Musical Experience
As its students enjoy the excitement of Holiday Season concerts, North Vancouver’s award-winning Ava Music and Arts Centre at 734 Marine Drive is looking forward to the New Year. “2015 was our 20th anniversary of making music instruction available to students from all over the North Shore and we’ll be offering even more programs next year,” said Artistic Director, Heather Deris. Ava Music has 23 highly-qualified, professional instructors who teach a wide variety of music disciplines – everything from piano, violin, cello and woodwinds to guitar, banjo, drums, voice classes and more.
The Orff method blends singing and dancing with the use of simple musical instruments – all under the guise of playful fun. Based on singing, the Kodaly method believes that music is easiest to learn when it is encouraged at a very early age. In Ava Music’s Cherry Blossom Orff & Kodaly programs, these methods teach children some of the fundamentals of music in a way they enjoy the most – during play.
Not only do they bring the art and the fun of music to children and adults of all ages, talents and backgrounds, the school prepares students for all levels of the examinations held by Canada’s Royal Conservatory of Music.
Music for students of all ages, abilities and interests
As a SPECIAL PROMOTION, students who register by December 31 will receive a $50 discount on their lessons.
Ava Music also specializes in the Orff and Kodaly methods of musical education for children aged one to seven and was the first school to offer them in North Vancouver.
