Meet the Reid family

Who are we? You might be thinking, Wait... isn’t this just a Performing Arts School?


Yes, but it’s so much more than that.

From the moment you join us, you become part of something bigger. Not just a class. Not just a studio. But a family, the Reid family.


One of the reasons we’re called Reid the Music is because our name stands for something: strong family values, a sense of belonging, and a whole lot of heart (plus… who doesn’t love a good pun?).


This is where your child finds their voice, and where your whole family finds their place.
