"I began learning to play piano at the age of  63, making my childhood dream come true.  As a longtime appreciator of music, I’m excited to finally learn to play an instrument.  I was a bit anxious about the teacher I’d have, so asked Sylvia (owner/operator of Cornerstone) for her recommendation.  She replied that I’d love Georgina.  I’m so happy to be learning from this very talented and well educated musician.  Georgina makes the lessons fun, informative and very much geared to my beginner level, which was musically illiterate.  She’s extremely patient and encouraging.​"

"Cornerstone music is amazing. I grew up taking lessons here and am currently a teacher there now. It’s an amazing place to be taught something new on a variety of instruments, grab an amazing cup of coffee/tasty GF lunch, or read a book and relax. Cornerstone does so much for the music community in Calgary and is an excellent example of a top tier musical environment. The staff is super friendly and (it’s worth mentioning twice) the food is GREAT. Love it!"

- Mitchell B., Guitar Instructor

 

"I came in as a complete beginner and felt nervous. Within weeks, I was playing my first song. The instructors here are patient, encouraging, and genuinely care about your progress. Highly recommend!"

"I’ve had the absolute privilege of teaching at Cornerstone Music Cafe for the past 6 years, and I can honestly say I’ve loved every single minute of it. This place isn’t just a music school—it’s a genuine community hub that feels like home the moment you walk through the door. If you’re looking for lessons, a performance space, or just a great coffee surrounded by incredible music energy, do yourself a favor and come to Cornerstone. Six years in, and I still look forward to walking through those doors every single day. This place is pure magic."

- Ben M., Drum Instructor

 

"My 8-year-old has been taking piano lessons for 6 months and absolutely loves it. The café atmosphere makes it feel less intimidating than a traditional music school. Great community!"

"The live music events at Cornerstone got me inspired to finally pick up the guitar at 45. It's never too late, and this place proves it. Best decision I made this year."

- Linda K., Adult Beginner

 

"Professional instruction, welcoming environment, and you can grab a coffee while you wait. What's not to love? Worth every penny."
