Among the best private music schools in the GTA, though still a tough gig for most teachers
Pros
Great reputation. Active student acquisition and marketing. Good facilities. Teachers are among the best in the GTA. As good/steady a salary as most music teachers could hope for in the private sector in the GTA. Generally good people all around.
Cons
Administration is struggling with a leadership transition. Roles of the different co-owners aren't clearly defined, and so positive change and teacher-led initiatives have a hard time coming to fruition. There's a hard divide between the owners/upper management, and teachers and non-senior operating staff. The divide creates a strong feeling of their being two "camps" within the company, and communication often breaks down to everyone's frustration. With difficult economic times there has been some struggle to keep classes full, causing a lot of teacher frustration and rotation. The Vaughan and Eglinton school locations are neglected when compared to Oakville.
