Music Lessons in Kingston, Ontario.
Established in 1967, Arden's Music is one of the most trusted names in music education in Ontario.
Our original Music School in Belleville ON, was opened in 1967, and in the fall of 2016 we proudly expanded to the Kingston area when we opened a new storefront and acquired Kingston School Of Music & their staff! We have since moved to our new location (At 699 Gardiners Road across from the RioCan). Our new location allowed us to expand our school to serve the Kingston area as only a locally owned business can!
