The History of the Hamilton School of Music
The Hamilton School of Music was founded in 1995 by the accomplished accordionist and local musician Glen Ellement who wished to provide quality music education for children and adults in the greater Hamilton area. Throughout the years Glen employed many highly qualified and professionally trained teachers in various instruments, and the school’s roster grew into the hundreds. Many students have gone on to complete post secondary musical studies and some have careers in music.
One of the school’s teachers, Brenda Kushnir, who herself had renewed her musical studies as an adult, decided to embark on a new career as an entrepreneur and bought the business in 2012 upon Glen’s retirement. Brenda and her entire family have, at one point or another, taken lessons at the Hamilton School of Music since 2001. Brenda and her staff truly believe in enhancing their students’ lives through the study and enjoyment of music while fostering their self esteem and motivation to succeed, as well as following the school’s motto of: Building confidence through music.
