ABOUT US

Local Family-owned and Operated Music Studio

OUR STORY

Music Maker Workshops is a family-owned and operated music studio started by Mrs. Beverly Bigam in 1997.

To Begin, her musical journey started as a young girl in McBride, B.C. in Canada where she took lessons for many years from a sweet, humble and enthusiastic teacher. This teacher instilled a love of music.  Soon Bev was considered to be a gifted pianist.

Throughout her life, she shared her gift at church, schools and even at the local funeral home. She believed in the importance of music education and invested in her children having them enrolled in lessons, community bands, and orchestras.

My family (~6 year old son, ~10 year old daughter, husband, and myself!) have been taking lessons with Music Maker... Workshop over the past three years. The faculty at the studio are excellent!! The instructors are all highly qualified, enthusiastic, and encouraging. The administrators are impressively organized, professional, and very helpful. The studio has a great community spirit, always feeling very welcoming, smooth running, and full of friendly and competent folk. Our family all love going to the studio for our regular lessons as well as participating in various events like camps, recitals, and practice motivational challenges which are run in an exceedingly fun, encouraging, and supportive way. We love making music with Music Makers and are all growing in so many ways! I'm grateful to have found this terrific place to learn music! Many thanks to the studio for all you do!read more

We are new to Music Makers and we absolutely LOVE it! Our 8 year old son started violin lessons with Mr. Alvin 2 months... ago and he is so happy. Music Makers makes it FUN for the students and they communicate so well with the parents, via text, phone and email. They are so organized and everyone that works there is SO happy. You can tell they love their job. This is a great family owned business and we are so happy that we were referred here by a family friend. We could not be more pleased with our decision to enroll our son at Music Makers! 🙂read more

We started piano lessons for my 7 year old and my 5 year old about 2 months ago, and it has been going well. In the... past we have moved a lot, and tried many different teachers and studios over the years. Music Makers is by-far one of the best. The front desk staff is friendly and upbeat; they have great communication and are on top of everything. The teacher we picked for lessons, Ms Cindy, is amazing. Her personality lifts my kids spirits. She knows how to incorporate fun, play-based-learning and unconditional positivity in her teaching methods. After my kids first lessons, they were so excited and on an energetic-high from having a great time that they came home and each practiced for about another 40 minutes each! I felt so happy knowing we had lucked-out and found a great music studio for lessons.read more

Both my children took lessons there for several years, my daughter for flute and my son for guitar and saxophone. Every... single teacher they had was very knowledgeable and friendly. I have been taking piano lessons there for 5 years and I have had the same experience. I also find the staff accommodating and easy to work with. It is a friendly business and a great place to learn.read more

I lucked into this fabulous music opportunity when a friend invited my kids. Fast forward two years and we are ALL... taking music lessons here. I've always wanted to learn piano, but who has the time? Waiting for my kids in their own lessons, I realized I now did have the time. They squeezed us all into the same day and time, and accommodates my work schedule. When a child in drums was desperate to quit, I sent them to chat with the front desk. The response was better than great - and that same child is now taking DJ lessons (that really have become piano, but since I didn't approve piano is much more exciting for them to sneak out in their way... Of course I'm thrilled!) My piano lessons are fabulous and all the instructors are equally awesome! I've been tapping my novice instructions on my steering wheel when caught in traffic every morning... And am surprised I'm finally doing what I never thought possible. A++++!!!!read more

We LOVE Music Makers. My 6 year old daughter takes piano lessons weekly and has also gone to camp there. She is... learning so much from the amazing Mrs. Shelley every week! The camps are wonderful. They get to learn three different instruments of their choice in small groups. All the teachers at camp were fantastic. They did a super cute performance for the parents on the last day of camp and we got to go to the different classrooms and see everything they learned that week. Definitely recommend Music Makers!read more

Music Makers Workshops is the ONLY camp and weekly lesson that my kids get excited about. The instructors are patient,... knowledgeable and FUN! We always look forward to seeing the same instructors year after year and getting to know the new ones. As a parent, I am so pleased to see my children's enthusiasm for learning to play different instruments and watching them fall in love with music - thank you MMW!read more

My daughter has taken piano lessons at Music Maker Workshops since she was 4, and she is turning 13 this December. ... Mrs. B. and her family, as well as Jess have always EXCEEDED my EXPECTATIONS, and have been a crucial part of my daughter's musical life. Key points are them recommending teachers who motivate and stimulate my daughter vs. me having to NAG her to practicing. Mary is her current piano teacher and has EXCEEDED our expectations with teaching my daughter how to write in and improvise by adding melodies and harmonies to make the piece more difficult. Mary helps motivate, yet diversify my daughter by having a classical piece, jazz piece, and popular piece for flexibility. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Music Maker Workshops! read more
