Chroma Music Studio
ABOUT US We offer affordable, convenient and quality music lessons at the comfort of your own home. Taught by experienced, qualified and trained music educators, our teachers design customized, engaging lessons from beginner to advanced levels for student ages 5 and up. OUR PHILOSOPHY Music Education has the power to enrich lives academically, socially, and creatively. Music lessons are a way for students of all ages to tap into these three aspects in a personal and fulfilling way. Whether you are interested in learning piano for fun, for academic enrichment, auditioning for university/college, or becoming a professional musician, we ensure that all of our students are given a wide range of musical opportunities and knowledge. This includes learning how to independently read and interpret various styles of music, developing excellent playing techniques and strong ear-training skills, gaining performance experiences, understanding theory and recognizing its application to their music, competently sight-read music through an approach that is advantageous for everyday playing, exams and/or collaborative playing, and developing a deep understanding and appreciation for various genres of music. At Chroma Music Studio, we believe that music education goes beyond learning a new instrument. We understand that music benefits the mind and wellbeing of our students - no matter what age, skill or level. We emphasize the connections between the skills learned in their lessons to life outside of the music room. Our mission is to challenge students to reach their full potential and to foster a community of students who are passionate, life-long, independent music learners. What makes us different from other music schools? We specialize in In-Home and Online Music Lessons to fit the lifestyle of busy students and families.

Libby Leshgold Gallery
The Libby Leshgold Gallery is a public art gallery dedicated to the presentation of contemporary art. Located within Emily Carr University of Art + Design on Great Northern Way, the Gallery serves a broad and varied community that includes the students, faculty and staff of the University, the arts community, the public of Greater Vancouver, and visitors from around the world. The mandate of the Libby Leshgold Gallery reflects its relation to the Emily Carr University of Art + Design. The gallery’s primary objective is the presentation of exhibitions and public programmes that effectively communicate the role of the gallery and University as an active site for the exhibition, discussion, teaching and production of art and design. The gallery carries out a programme of regional, national and international exhibitions that reflect the range of disciplines taught at the University. Emphasis is on contemporary thematic group shows that contain an educational and/or critical component and solo exhibitions that offer in-depth analysis of an artist’s production. Our projects involve the public, University and artistic community in a dialogue about the development of critical practice in art and design. Previously the Charles H. Scott Gallery, named for the first principal of the Vancouver School of Art (now the Emily Carr University of Art + Design), we became the Libby Leshgold Gallery in the Fall of 2017 with our move to the Great Northern Way Campus. The Gallery was opened in 1980 when the University relocated to its previous location on Granville Island. Since its inception, the Libby Leshgold Gallery has operated as a public gallery with professional museum standards. It has made a significant contribution to the presentation and analysis of contemporary art in Canada. As well, throughout its history the Gallery has functioned as a teaching gallery where students can learn professional curatorial and exhibition practices.
