About our program. It's more than music . . . it's a movement.
Discover the joy of music and the power of giving!
At eMusic Studios, we believe in the transformative power of music and the importance of nurturing this in our youth. We understand that the average cost of monthly piano lessons is $125, a sum that may not be affordable for all families. That's why we've created a unique sponsorship program that allows you to contribute to a child's musical education for just $25 per month. Your contribution will help provide a child with the opportunity to explore their musical talents, develop their skills, and express themselves through the universal language of music.
By sponsoring a child's piano lessons, you're not just investing in their musical journey, but also making a lasting impact on their life and community. Join us at eMusic Studios, where music meets purpose, and discover the joy of giving through music. We maintain a professional approach in all our interactions and are committed to fostering a love for music in the next generation.

Music is the language understood by people of all nations. Improved
coordination, increased marketability, a broadening of interests, a discovery of the importance of self-discipline, the pride of achievement, and a world of pleasure are only a few of the rewards pupils experience from studying music. Let us help you find your rewarding experience.
