We teach guitar and bass guitar using contemporary music as a vehicle to learn the skills required to plays chords, melodies, lead solos and accompaniment.
There is a strong emphasis on technique, improving your ear, rhythm and overall musicality. In our written work we mainly use ‘tab’ (lines and numbers) and when needed or desired, standard notation (notes on a staff).
We welcome your input regarding your favoured music styles and songs and do encourage students to forward their learning through their effort, enthusiasm and sharing.
Whether it’s electric rock, blues, acoustic finger style, jazz or any other pop style, we can help you discover your potential, set some goals and accomplish them!

Our Commitment to Students:
We honour who you are and how you learn by helping to you define the lesson direction, and by presenting you information and exercises that suit your learning style. We work with your strengths, and explore ways to improve on weaknesses.
Like an ongoing conversation, we ask questions, listen intently, and address your questions. We play songs, practice together, share our experience, cover the foundational skills, challenge limits, look inside the music to give context and explain the language.
We write, jam, duet, sing, breathe, record, reflect, laugh, review.
We learn why and how to practice.
Did I mention, we PLAY, a lot!
We encourage and support performances, both solo and in groups.
Our Commitment to the Community:
Every year, we donate all proceeds from our concerts to local charities. In the past, we've given to AIDS Vancouver Island, YM-YWCA Youth Outreach X-Mas Hamper , The Sanctuary Youth Drop-In Centre, and Our Place Society.
We don't like to blow our horn too much but would like you to know that we support local youth, families and community members, especially in their musical interests, as a way to give back and show gratitude to all the wonderful students and families that we get to work with year after year.
Our instructors specialize in a variety of styles such as rock, jazz, blues, folk, pop, classical, and more.(Ages 5 and up)
The lessons are personalized to each student and their policy is to have fun with your lessons
Guitar classes are a very personal experience which take into consideration each student's musical preferences. Being able to teach any style on classical, electrical or acoustic guitars is our forte.
Students have the opportunity to learn proper bass guitar techniques from established bass players.
Our group guitar classes include lessons in theory and technique and focus on learning to play the songs that kids want to hear.
