The Studio - Daphne Langford

Our Studio

701 Dingwall Road in Courtenay, BC

You can find us one block from the old Canadian Tire store, off Headquarters Rd.

Our Music Studio

Our studio is located in one of the original homes of the Courtenay area. Originally built in 1885, it burned down in 1934. A year later it was rebuilt on the same foundation, but facing the opposite way. You can still see the charred beams in the basement as well as a concrete staircase that goes no where.

Daphne bought the house in 2010 when her home studio became too small for the growing number of students she had. She uses the large living room as our teaching space, with its lovely wood stove, original hardwood floors (we have slippers for you to borrow) and wood wainscoting. A portion of the house is rented out, but the studio is a completely separate space.

We have a grand piano, an upright piano and 4 keyboards in the studio. Your children will enjoy playing on the variety of options available.
