Welcome to ASYLUMforART academy. For over 30 years we have been bringing top education to students across Canada. We offer a wide array of group classes for all ages and 1on1 lessons in strings, piano and voice. We moved into our flagship location in Bankview, Calgary immediately before the pandemic and now that we are emerging on the other side we are very proud to be assembling additional classes. All our classes are focused on bringing a quality education to yourself and your children, while maintaining a really fun atmosphere. All our teachers are experienced and dedicated to doing just that.
Welcome. We look forward to guiding you through your musical journey and grow as a musician and a person.
