Lambda School of Music and Fine Arts is a bilingual private school of music and fine arts and a venue for performances located in Pierrefonds-Roxboro in the West Island of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The languages of instruction are in English and French. Lambda was inaugurated on the 10th October 2008 by the mayoress of Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Madame Monique Worth and appointed representatives from the Chinese Embassy, Ottawa.

The mission of Lambda School of Music and Fine Arts is to provide a comprehensive education to learners of all ages and levels. Founded and conceived as a school of interdisciplinary learning of the arts with the intent of helping learners discover their artistic niche, Lambda offers a variety of artistic disciplines all under one roof. Disciplines offered include music, musical theatre, dance, painting, and photography. Lambda is headed by a panel of academic advisors who are university professors and seasoned experts and researchers in education and psychology, as well as a team of artists-in-residence to uphold the high artistic standard in musical performance. Lambda offers artistic education from the beginners' level to concert artist level. Without a pre-auditioning process, students who are dedicated yet have not attained a significant level of accomplishment at an early age are able to receive artistic education from international calibre concert artists to reach their full artistic potential.

Artists-in-residence at Lambda School include an array of internationally renowned concert artists such as concert violinist Alexandre Da Costa, pipa and guzheng performer Liu Fang, and Montreal-Korean concert pianist Wonny Song who also serves as associate director and director of artists-in-residence.

Lambda's faculty comprises of accomplished concert artists including Yoonjung Han, Tristan Lauber, Caroline Holden and others who are graduates from renowned institutions such as the Juilliard School of Music, Manhattan School of Music, Curtis Institute of Music, University of Montreal, McGill University, The Glenn Gould School and other major universities and conservatories.

Within two short years since its opening, a number of music students of Lambda, including prodigy pianist Xiaoyu Liu have already garnered major prizes in national competitions in Quebec. Performances by Lambda students have also been featured on PBS Mountain Lake television, Global TV and CBC Radio Canada.

The name Lambda is specifically chosen for a variety of reasons. In physics, the sign Lambda (uppercase Λ, lowercase λ) stands for wavelength. Through the wavelength of sounds, humans communicate through music. Through the wavelength of light, we communicate emotions through various colors in painting. Lambda is also the acronym for Learning of the Arts through the Mind and Body in the Discovery of Aesthetics.

As an institution, Lambda School is highly supportive of other organizations of the arts and education in Quebec. Lambda School has been a proud sponsor of scholarships for the Montreal Classical Music Festival organized annually by the Quebec Music Teachers' Association as well as the Lakeshore Chamber Music Society, while also offering an array of scholarships and bursaries to deserving students of the arts.

Lambda School of Music and Fine Arts is also the official examination centre for RCM Examinations in the West Island of Montreal commencing January 2011.
