Central Conservatory of Music is located in Lagoon City Brechin. We strive to keep music alive in this community through education, commitment and participation. We promote music education as an asset to our lives and future. We have been in the business for 45 years and our owner, Barry, is three time past president of the American Guild of Music, and a lifetime honour member. Music has many positive effects for emotional and intellectual growth, and it provides a sense of pride and accomplishment. In addition, music education contributes to self-confidence, problem solving skills, memory and concentration, goal setting and holistic healing, among many other things. Taking music lessons is associated positively with intelligence and with academic abilities while providing an outlet for emotional and mental health. Please come and join us to help share the power of music in our community!
My name is Olaf, I am a professional musician/teacher that majored in performance and composition in University. I had the opportunity to perform at well known music festivals where we opened for artists like Tom Cochrane, Great Big Sea, Hey Rosetta, Gandharvas, Holly McNarland and The Pursuit of Happiness.
I started teaching in 2002 students of all ages, as early as 4 years to 65+ old. The goal is to provide a flexible and patient yet passionate environment, where students are gently challenged in order to develop well rounded musical and instrumental skills.
The electronic studio is equipped with a pro Yamaha electronic drum-set, electric piano which means it can be synchronized to a laptop or handheld device for the purpose of playing along to songs, empty tracks or a metronome. In this way the student has access to their music via cd/mp3/usb/internet.

The standout star here though is the magnificent soprano Grace Davidson who sings with gorgeous purity and warmth and hits some extraordinarily ethereal high notes.'Classic FM'Grace Davidson gave a beguiling account of the famous 'Pie Jesu'. Her tone was warm and pure and her gently beseeching delivery was just right.'John Quinn, Seen & Heard International, CBSO Performance''Grace Davidson's ''Pie Jesu'' solo is lovely, with a delicate halo of vibrato surrounding an immaculate, round tone.''The Star Ledger, New Jersey''..absolutely gorgeous singing – object lessons in understatement and poise – from both Grace Davidson and William Gaunt. Devastatingly beautiful.
