The Dream

Our journey began in Dubai, where music was always the heartbeat of our household. When we planned our move to Canada, we carried with us a shared dream: to open a music school where we could share our passion and heritage with a new community. In September 2019, we arrived in Burlington, Ontario, ready to turn that dream into reality.

However, the world had other plans. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting global shutdowns forced us to put our vision on hold. It was a time of significant challenges, but our dedication to music and teaching never wavered. We persevered, continued to play, and meticulously planned for the future.

"In September 2023, we proudly opened the doors to Harmonic Academy of Music, starting right from our own home. Through the trust and support of our incredible community, we've been able to make this dream come true."
