Fall Group Class Registration for school aged students opens tomorrow at noon!

Group classes at the Squamish Academy of Music offer a welcoming and engaging way for musicians to begin or expand their musical journey. These classes are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, develop foundational skills, and nurture confidence within a supportive group setting.

Students learn through fun, interactive lessons that balance musicianship, creativity, and collaboration, so that they can feel successful early on and stay motivated to keep learning. With opportunities to perform, high-quality instruction, and a strong sense of community, our group classes help students explore music in a kind and joyful environment, while also laying the groundwork for long-term growth.

We are so excited about this summer collaboration with Squamish Dance Centre!

SUMMER CAMP registration opens Sunday and we have a really exciting new camp hitting the calendar!!!!!

For the past few years we have been collaborating behind the scenes with our good friends working with our competitive Song & Dance duos and soloist’s vocal training. It’s been so exciting watching our Song & Dance competitors grow leaps and bounds with the support of SAM bringing their performances to the next level.

We are so excited to be working with SAM on another project bringing to life a new Summer Camp 🕺🎤 An opportunity for young performers who want to combine singing and movement, develop musical, dance, and performance skills, and enjoy the excitement of sharing music in a supportive group environment.

Song and Dance Camp
Ages 7-13

At SDC

Song and Dance is a dynamic and engaging program for students who love to sing, dance, and perform. Participants explore repertoire from musical theatre and pop favourites, combining vocal technique with expressive movement in preparation for an end-of-week showcase. This program supports both beginners and experienced performers, offering opportunities for skill-building, creativity, and teamwork ✨

Here are some extra highlights from November's mic workshop and concert. We had such an amazing time with all the talented singers who joined us, and we couldn't wait to share more!

As we dive into the second term of the school year, these students are working tirelessly to perfect their performances for the music festival and end-of-year concerts. Building on last term's progress, they're expanding their skills and inspiring us with their dedication and commitment.
