Student stories
Families from Rosedale on studying here.
“Was in TO for 5 weeks over the summer. Originally was looking to do group lessons, but ended up with private lessons at a very reasonable rate. Other than having a great instructor (thanks Robin!), I was introduced to Cubase 5, which has now become a regular part of my drum practice repertoire (now that I am back in Budapest), which has helped improve my music reading skills immensely. Drum-learning wise, the best call I've ever made!”
Laszlo Reichel
“Amazing lessons, relaxed but focused atmosphere, great place to meet other musicians and students.”
Matija Krunic
“Great staff, friendly environment! Matthew rocks!”
