To study music is to foster a life-long appreciation for art. It’s a lifestyle, a way to communicate and express – not simply a skill that is learned. “I didn’t choose a career in music because, for me, music is my life," says Alexandre Alexandrov of the Alexandrov Music Centre. And, for this reason, the centre is focused on the students, not the system.“Our program is student-oriented,” says Alexandre. “Too often, students are taught according to the system, but we develop a system and curriculum that fits the student.”

Together with his son, Julian, and other teachers, Alexandrov Music Centre offers courses in piano, keyboard, guitar, voice, drums, violin, brass and theory. Originally focused on pop music when the centre opened in 1998, the school has since expanded its repertoire to offer Royal Conservatory training for students who want to learn classical music. “We integrate the best of the North American and European approaches,” says Alexendre. “That way, we can better match our students’ interests and aspirations.”
