Two ways to learn
Classical stream
Students work through Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) levels, scales, and études to build a strong technical foundation and explore the classical repertoire.
Folk stream
Tunes picked by the teacher to suit your goals, including Celtic, Scandinavian, French-Canadian, and Old Time music. Lessons build rhythm, style, and ornamentation, learning by ear with music reading alongside.
