About Paul

Hi, I'm Paul. Like you, I started life with a dream: I wanted to make music. By age 5, I was already trying to compose. I would write notes in my dictation book and have my mother play them on the piano.
After years of piano study, I started learning guitar because I wanted to play in a band. I wrote my first song at the age of 18 and from there my creativity grew. After playing in bands for 10 years, I studied music composition in university, completing an undergraduate degree, masters degree, and doctoral degree.
I also play cello, and much of my strong left hand technique on guitar was adapted from what I learned playing the cello.

I perform and record music, and I write music with a vast palette with many colours and instruments. I also write classical music for chamber ensembles and orchestras.

I have taught music lessons since 2008 and I leverage my skills and knowledge to help students develop a strong musical foundation which allows them to go in the direction they want to with their craft

About the lesson

I help students develop their ear and their understanding of music. I associate sounds with conceptual names -modes, harmonies, etc- and have students practice these concepts to that they can understand them aurally. I also focus on developing efficient technique to maximize speed and dexterity while guarding against playing related injuries.

Lessons typically focus on the guitar from several key angles:

-Technique and movement in scales, playing linearly, joining scales across the neck of the guitar, playing sequences, etc.

-Learning passages from written solos.

-Working on improvising.

-Chord changes and finger picking.

-Rhythm playing and strumming technique.

-Learning and playing riffs and songs.

-Writing riffs and exploratory playing.

-Learning by ear.

-Music theory and note reading.

As a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and university educated musician, I am musically bilingual. I 'speak' North American Music i.e. rock guitar as well as Classical Music i.e. note reading etc. I am able to approach teaching in a wholistic manner which broadens the horizons of the players who work with me. My versatility allows for musicians to develop in a way that blends head knowledge with musical intuition and understanding. The student can learn both what sounds good and why.

I am interested in teaching beginners up to higher level intermediate players, or any advanced players -or anyone- who is wanting to develop their creativity and riff / songwriting chops.

Paul is an incredible teacher. He’s adaptable, friendly, and willing to change for the better of the student. When I first met him I was a complete beginner. He taught me what i needed to know and helped me grow and develop as a guitar player. He has helped me get into a jazz band and prepare for the audition. I came in as a complete beginner and now I am more than capable of carrying my weight in a competitive musical enviroment.
