On 21 July 2026, we officially opened the doors of Polaris Music Academy!
Getting here took longer than planned. Renovation took time, and we wanted every corner of the studio properly settled before welcoming anyone in. We began quietly with a soft launch on 1 July, and once everything was ready, we set a date and opened our doors.
The word everyone used
We heard it again and again at the door, almost word for word: "so cosy!"
There is no compliment we would value more. Polaris was never meant to feel like a big institution. We are a boutique academy on purpose: a warm, welcoming space where lessons are tailored to each student, and where walking in feels a little like coming home. Hearing guests say it out loud, unprompted, told us the studio turned out exactly the way we imagined it.
Who filled the room
Friends and family who had heard about this studio for months. Followers of Teacher Jovanna, who know her as a content creator and music educator online, and finally got to see the studio in person. Neighbours from around the block, popping by to say hello. And parents of future students, dropping in to look around and imagine their child at the piano here.
Our Official Opening display showed visitors how to reach us, register and explore our website, alongside the composer character cards our youngest students learn with, from Chopin the Cat to Beethoven the Bear.
Thank you!
The corridor outside filled up with congratulatory flowers, and reading the cards was the quiet highlight of our day. One of them said: "I can't wait for my daughter to begin her musical journey with you."
That is really what all of this is for.
Polaris has officially begun. To everyone who came, sent flowers or cheered us on from afar, thank you! Our doors are open, and we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
