The Universal Language - The Creative Perspective with The Music Spot

Being part of the community for 18 years now, The Music Spot offers connection, creativity and community to art and music lovers of all ages! Owner Diane McGuire, talks about the love she has of offering music and art classes in Strathroy.

Tell us about your business/organization's journey - do you recall how you first discovered your interest and passion for your work?

I began teaching 34 years ago, and loved imparting music knowledge to students and watch them blossom on their own musical journey.

Tell us about your business/group. What services or products do you provide? What is your vision and what are your goals?

The Music Spot provides group and private lessons in a fun, safe, dynamic and inspiring way. We also offer Art Lessons!

What is the most challenging part of running your business/organization - and what’s the most rewarding?

I find hiring teachers challenging these days. Having to turn away students because we are fully booked is not something I enjoy doing. I, as well as all of The Music Spot teachers, find it incredibly rewarding to watch our students grow musically, and personally, and join bands - or even become teachers themselves!

Without music and art, communities would struggle to be connected.

How do you hope people feel or what do you hope they take away when they visit your business/organization?

A sense of welcoming, openness, belonging and support.

What role do you think small businesses or community groups, especially in the creative field, play in a community like ours?

Small businesses are pertinent to the creative thread of communities! Without music and art, communities would struggle to be connected. Music truly is the universal language.

What’s next for you—are there any upcoming projects, shows, events, or milestones you’re excited to share?

The Music Spot has been a part of the Downtown Strathroy Community for 18 years. We are excited to continue to be a part of our community! Our year end recital is coming up April 25, and registration is open for Spring Session that begins April 28 - it is never too late to learn an instrument and become part of The Music Spot Community!
