Antonio Padula is a classically trained pianist and vocal instructor who has served the arts community of Kirkland, Quebec for ten years. The founder and primary instructor of a small studio, he is known for his passion and his enduring support of his students. When he first founded his studio in 2008, he was teaching students piano and voice in a small office space with one window. Today, the music school serves almost one hundred students in its afterschool lessons program and new summer intensives are added each year to keep up with growing demand. Before settling in Kirkland, Mr. Padula toured for 15 years with three prestigious symphony orchestras. From Budapest to Sydney, he made his way across five different continents, performing pieces from the classical canon and new composers alike. Now he is grateful to be able to travel to see many former of his studio alums in their various performances across Canada and the United States. Tony Padula lives with his wife and daughte
