Kitchener’s Premier Choice for Music Lessons
The Ontario Conservatory of Music (OCOM) has been a cornerstone of music education for over 86 years, setting the standard for exceptional music teaching throughout Ontario.
Since our first location opened in 1939, we have continuously adapted to meet the needs of the community in Kitchener. If you grew up here and took music lessons, chances are you learned with us!
What Can You Expect With A High-Quality Program With Our School?
While many schools and retail stores offering lessons use independent contractors, our staff are employees, not independent contractors!
All teaching staff are employees of the Ontario Conservatory. Our teachers require a university degree in music education and are required to teach all levels of Theory while following and delivering the Royal Conservatory Program Syllabus. As employees of one of the top music schools in Kitchener Waterloo, our teachers are trained to specifically deliver the program you expect from Ontario Conservatory while developing a relationship with your child that will keep them engaged.
There are many teachers that have attempted to join our team but through our evaluation have learned that in many cases there was no formal training for the applicant. It is very important when choosing a school to know who you are entrusting with your family’s musical education!
The Royal Conservatory Program Syllabus
When you learn with Ontario Conservatory of music you are taught our certified syllabus while being prepared for annual examinations.
When our students reach grade five, which is the beginning of the RCM syllabus, our students are developed and prepare for the annual RCM exam.
By receiving this high-quality program with our school your child can obtain two high school credits, which is RCM piano level seven, and eight while also completing levels nine, and ten which would qualify your child to one day teach students of their own!
While we are proud to teach many of the highest achieving students throughout the Waterloo Wellington Region we also prepare aspiring students for the university level.

Special Needs Program – Kitchener
We provide our Free Musical Aptitude Test to everyone interested in a program. For our Special Needs Program, the requirements are that the guardian of the child confirms that the child is verbal, has the ability to communicate with an instructor, is able to learn in an educational environment and interact one-on-one with a tutor without parental supervision. For full details, please visit our Special Needs Program Page.
The Ontario Conservatory has pioneered what has become the most popular method for music study today: group instruction. Our group classes are designed for everyone—from young children to teens, young adults and older adults. Through group music instruction, people of all ages learn faster, learn by comparison and learn to play in unison.
