Online Guitar Lessons
I currently teach online lessons using Whereby. Whereby is a fantastic video conference platform, as it’s simple and intuitive. It also doesn’t require a software download of any kind.
During COVID, online learning became the norm, but I’ve actually been teaching online lesson for almost 15 years! It was always an option for students that were unable to make their in-studio lesson because of traffic delays, illness, travel, snow days etc. Some student choose to be online because they live to far to drive. (Toronto, Halifax, Florida, Dubai, etc)
Guitar Repairs
Through the guitar side of my business, I also offer pro level guitar repairs done through Oakville repair tech Mark Atkinson. Mark is a highly accomplished guitar technician and custom pickup designer. Mark was the senior guitar tech for over 10 years at Toronto’s hottest vintage guitar store – Songbird Music. He’s worked for many well known artists coming through Toronto such as, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Feist, Arcade Fire, Tom Cochrane, Bruce Cockburn, Marilyn Manson, Ron Hawkins, Sloan, Sam Roberts, Metric, 1979, Sum 41, Blue Rodeo, Sarah Harmer, Kim Mitchell, The Tea Party, and many others!
Strings and Accessories
Guitar students may also purchase strings, tuners, capos, cables, etc. at a discount through me on a quarterly basis. All orders go through Just Strings in the U.S. who offers very competitive rates to local retailers, that I in turn share with my students.
Policies
- All lesson material is prepared in advance, allotting a certain amount of prep time for each student. As such, I don’t offer make ups for cancelled or missed lessons. I will provide you with your lesson material and a short video explanation if needed. I offer online lessons, if you you’re set up for it and are able to take advantage of the opportunity.
- Payments are made monthly within the first week of lessons. Once processed, there are no refunds or credits for missed lessons.
