Introduction
I have been performing and teaching music for many years. I teach with a theory base and tailor each lesson based on age, instrument and skill level. I have taken pedagogy courses in all the instruments with the exception of low brass and can help anyone incorporate theory into performance of any instrument. I am presently teaching remotely on Zoom. I can also offer a discount if you pay monthly in advance. There is an old saying "If you want to master something, teach it". and this certainly has worked for me as a performer and as a teacher. I learn valuable skills from students every day as we go through the music learning process and correct faults on any instrument. I perform in many restaurants, private functions and nightclubs usually 3 or 4 nights per week.

He really knows his stuff with regards to vocals, in terms of music theory and breathing technique. His knowledge of rock vocalists' technique is clearly shown and helps me a lot in shaping my goals in singing. He is also very friendly and helpful, and I would definitely recommend visiting him if you are interested in learning more about singing.

My first lesson with Don was packed with information but Don reassured that it's normal not to remember everything. He does include theory behind lessons and ensured that it would all come together down the road. Don was friendly, knowledgeable, and good at what he teaches. He is a well rounded instructor in different types of music/instruments.

Don knows music, the foundations, which I believe are essential for learning any musical instrument. In addition he exhibited how that knowledge is able to be applied across several instruments: Piano, Drums, Steel Guitar, etc.

Don knows his stuff, he's easy to get along with and overall a really nice guy. He has an impressive repertoire of musical skills and a lifetime of experience in music to draw from. As far as instruments he can play a little bit of everything, he can basically teach you any instrument you'd find in a regular rock band, folk, country, pop, blues etc. He's probably most proficient on the guitar and piano but he also knows quite a lot about vocals. If you struggle with theory he does a great job demystifying some of the fundamentals of music theory that are useful to beginners. Whether you're an absolute beginner or long time musician Don will be able to help you out. Highly recommend.
