Welcome to music lessons with Paul!

Because of the Covid 19 pandemic, all my lessons are now offered on line through your choice of Zoom or Skype. Please contact me if you are interested.

Lessons

Paul offers weekly private music lessons for children ages eight and up, teens and adults. Whether you are brand new to your instrument, returning to music after a long absence, or a more experienced musician wanting to fine tune your performance, Paul’s encouraging, student-centred approach will help you have fun while accomplishing your goals.

Paul encourages all his students to participate in his annual spring recital.

Jams

On the second Mondays of each month ,  Paul hosts a jam through the Northern Lights Bluegrass and Old Time Music Society. Jams are currently on hiatus for everyone’s protection due to social distancing requirements

Jam’s are held in Amigos backroom from 7:00-9:00 pm

Playing music is fun! Contact Paul to arrange your first lesson.

For Parents

With many years of experience teaching and a natural sense of humour, Paul makes lessons fun!  Children explore their interests, develop skills, and learn music theory at a pace that suits them.

Music lessons have many benefits: they help children develop confidence and focus, and regular practice develops fine and gross motor skills.

Parents are welcome to sit in on the lessons. Contact Paul to find out more about lessons for children and teens (ages eight and up).
