Sharing music with others is something very special. It can turn a frown into a smile, bring tears to your eyes, and make fast friends out of complete strangers. Simply put, music changes lives. But music doesn’t start with the strum of a guitar or the bow stroke of a violin. Music starts in the heart. It starts when you put goodness into the world and into the lives of others. Musicians don’t just make music, they move the mind and the spirit, often never knowing the impact they’ve had.

Con Moto is an Italian music term meaning “with movement” and that’s what Con Moto Music Centre Ltd. is about. Moving forward, always working to improve ourselves and our community. Music is far more than just a hobby. It’s a tool to train your mind, sharpen focus, and develop patience. Music forces you to fail, repeatedly, and demands that you are brave enough to become a better version of yourself every time. Being a musician doesn’t just mean you can play some nice songs, it means honing a craft with a razor-thin margin for error while loving the entire process. We believe that music makes better people, and better people make a better world.

Founded by Adam and Valerie Willey, Con Moto Music Centre Ltd. aims to make the music education accessible to as many people as possible in the Comox Valley and surrounding areas. We do this through expert instruction in an unparalleled variety of instruments, workshops, ensembles, masterclasses, and performances. In 2026 we launched a bursary programme to help cover tuition costs associated with private music lessons, camps, and post-secondary level music study. At Con Moto Music Centre Ltd. we don’t just teach music...

We make musicians.
