Meet Our Founders

Discover the Heart of Tisho's Music Academy

In 1998 Tisho and Mary Balinov founded Tisho’s Music Academy in the tiny basement of their home. For 26 years they served the community of Caledon by providing music lessons to young children, adults, and even established a charity which offers music classes to individuals with physical and neurological challenges.

In June of 2024 they hosted their last recital and said goodbye to their students and the community they love.

The name and legacy they established will continue with their children, Kristian & Diana, who will now take over the popular music school and follow in their parents’ footsteps.

The Balinov children are committed to continuing to serve their customers and community with the same honesty and integrity, taught to them by their parents.
