History

Established in 1988.

Merriam Music was established in 1988 by Alan Merriam, a professional pianist and educator. He led the business through several expansions, including Vaughan in 2008. The business now encapsulates two main divisions: the Piano Store, and the Music School.

Combining all areas of the company, Merriam Music serves nearly 5000 unique customers annually, making it one of the largest music companies in Canada, and what Music Inc Magazine described as one of the top musical destinations in North America.

For 25 years, Merriam School of Music has been a leading pioneer of music education, known throughout Canada and the United States. Our school also enjoys close cooperation and associations from some of the most esteemed universities in the country, including University of Western Ontario, Wilfrid Laurier, Queens, University of Ottawa, and Humber Music College. Our students also have the opportunity to use some of the most advanced facilities of their kind, in the world.
