The CMT studio is moving!

Although we moved into Westmount Shopping Centre not too long ago, we are set to move to a new space in March 2026.

Westmount Shopping Centre was acquired by Farhi in Fall 2025. This change in ownership, along with the growing demand for group programs has led CMT and Maple and Spruce Music Academy to find a new home.

2025 was a busy year of growth and expansion for the Connections Music Therapy Team.

The year began with CMT being Voted #1 for both Music Lessons and Youth Music Lessons in the Community Votes London campaign for 2024.
