Saskatoon Academy of Music

We are so excited to share the beautiful music of our 2025-2026 guitar ensemble! Under the direction of instructor Hadi Arjmand, these students have been meeting every Saturday since the fall to create beautiful music with one another.

Thanks to Rainy Day Recording Co. for recording, mixing, and mastering these two tracks for our students.

Curious about getting involved with ensemble? We will be taking on new students in the fall for this program!
