Description

Lotus Music is a Canadian charity bringing the joy of adaptive music to all through a music school, community outreach, research, and teacher training. Inspired by her lived experience as a neurodivergent person and mom to neurodivergent kids, Dr. Erin Parkes founded Lotus Music in 2012 to honour and celebrate the need for unique approaches to music education. Our symbol, the lotus flower, represents growing into your full potential, and we strive to create opportunities for every person we reach to experience this growth. We create spaces that take a truly adaptive approach, providing the conditions for people of all interests, strengths, and abilities to meaningfully engage with music. At Lotus Music, this means: - Activities that welcome people with diverse learning needs at every age - Individualized instruction designed to adapt to each learner's unique strengths and interests - Working with teachers that celebrate the unique abilities of every student Our programs include summer and March break camps, Sunday afternoon Mini Music Camp, group programs, private music lessons, and more. Whether we see you in our studios, in the community, or online, we promise to provide a space where music is welcoming, accessible, and transformative.
