Studio Canimus has been serving the Greater Grand Forks area since the Fall of 2013. Originally founded as “Psalm 98 Studio,” at that time, lessons were taught in students’ homes. In the Spring of 2016, Psalm 98 Studio changed its name to Studio Canimus, and now has a studio location in Grand Forks, ND. “Canimus” (kah-nee-moos) is Latin for “we sing”—this word was chosen to reflect not only the action of the students, but also as an invitation to join in our song.
