LESSONS -
If

instrument, we offer encouraging music lessons

Hamilton and Grimsby with the West
Lincoln Conservatory, as well as on-line
Lessons to

private

1982
and have been privileged to have taught thousands of
students from this area. There are many methods available for all ages
in
lots of
different styles and instruments. Former
students at the West Lincoln Conservatory include Dr.
Gayle Sherwood (musicology professor), Jake Thomas
(producer, son of
Ian Thomas - a well known singer, songwriter and author), Adam Goddard
(composer for many CBC productions and former winner of the Europe
Broadcast Composer of the Year Award),
and Robert Bruce

Hamilton).
Resources
for instruction are drawn from a number of methods and
publications, including resources from the Toronto Royal Conservatory
of Music, Berklee Press (Jazz, Pop and Rock methods)
and a number of popular
methods
available for all ages.
