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

Student stories
What Our Students Are Saying
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.”
Matija Krunic
“Great staff, friendly environment! Matthew rocks!”
