STUDIO RENTAL INFORMATION

Arraymusic offers the perfect studio for ensemble rehearsals, classes, and intimate events. Located in the Artscape building at 60 Atlantic Avenue, in the heart of Liberty Village, we are only two minutes away from Exhibition Station, and accessible by train or streetcar.

We also offer use of our baby-grande piano (Yamaha G2) at a low cost to musicians. Our prices are as follows:

Studio $15 per hour

Arraymusic subsidizes the cost of rehearsal time and use of our piano in order to provide an affordable venue for local musicians. We are committed to facilitating arts organizations, and the music community at large, with a forum for artistic expression.
