Our approach

Three ways students study woodwinds here.

Every student's program is built around them. These are the three tracks most students fall into.

  • 01

    Flute

    Tone development, breath and posture. Classical and contemporary repertoire.

  • 02

    Saxophone

    Jazz phrasing, rock and pop, and full technical grounding.

  • 03

    Clarinet

    Classical technique with room for jazz and contemporary crossover.

What's included

Every woodwinds student gets.

A private lesson is more than the 30 minutes on the schedule. Here is what comes with your weekly slot.

  • Weekly one-on-one lesson at 214 Laird Drive
  • A program designed around your goals and repertoire
  • Practice roadmap and follow-up between lessons
  • Recital and performance opportunities each year
  • Exam preparation if you want the RCM path
  • A studio full of teachers you can lean on

Student stories

What woodwinds families tell us.

A few notes from woodwinds students and parents from around the neighbourhood.

  • 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.
