"The quality of the lessons always blow me away. The class schedule is structured in a way that you never miss a lesson, the teachers are dedicated, knowledgeable and supportive. If you want to learn how to play or improve your playing this is a great place to be."
Audrey K
"EGMS is a great place to get started or improve the skills you already have. In the time I've been here, the teachers have helped me improve my technical skill, my understanding of music theory, my appreciation for different music genres, and my confidence with a guitar."
Warren S
"I've struggled with the guitar for 30 years, playing the same errors in songs and never knowing how to correct them, my playing was horrible. Three quarters of a year with EGMS and my playing has improved so much, I'm actually not embarrassed to say I play guitar anymore."

I've been learning guitar here since December of 2022. I initially chose Edmonton Guitar Music School due to my work schedule. Shift work makes taking up any sort of scheduled activity very difficult. The way the adult classes are structured is perfect for anyone with a weird schedule. It is so convenient that I can show up on a Tuesday one week and a Friday the next
I have been taking lessons here for several years now and it has always been a wonderful experience. Bailey Sutton has been teaching me almost from day one. The whole team a has helped me grow with this new skill. They have flexible hours throughout the week. If life happens and you have to miss a class, you can make it up at a later date, and it's a fun environment t
Have been taking piano lessons for a couple years with Bailey as my teacher, I’ve had no issues or complaints. The teachers are insightful and are there to help you learn about your instrument better, whether you practice on your own time to improve your skills further is up to you! If you’re looking for personal one on one classes you may have to discuss that
My husband has been taking lessons with the Edmonton Guitar Music School for only four months, but has learned more in that time than he did in 15 months with other instructors. His technical understanding of the guitar and his general ability and confidence has increased tremendously. The instructors and staff are amazing, and we would recommend this school to anyone.
I came to Edmonton Guitar Music School in July 2018 with only a few basic chords and an immense desire to learn to play guitar. A few months later, and I feel my skills, confidence, and foundational knowledge growing every day. Ian and Kamil are incredible and attentive instructors, and I would highly recommend attending lessons with them both. As a part of group lessons,

Why We Are Different
Here is what our team of teachers does differently to help you become the musician you can be, compared to normal music lessons from other local teachers.
| What You Can Expect From A Normal Music Teacher: | What You Can Expect From Your Music Lessons With Us: | |
|---|---|---|
| How will I find out what I want to be able to play/sing and what I need to reach my goals and do music the way I want? | A normal music teacher will just ask you what styles of music you listen to and what songs you would like to learn. Then they will just teach you these songs, or worse, they will just ask you "what do you want to learn today?". A normal music teacher will not target your weaknesses to resolve them, or your strengths to reinforce and expand them: they will just show you more songs hoping that you magically become a better musician. | We will set up an initial free intro session for you. During this initial session we will interview you and assess your present musical skills, your ultimate goals (you might be surprised!), and what you need to take the next step, or to simply get started if you are a beginner. We will have a written plan that focuses on YOUR needs and goals, and then we will consistently follow it in your lessons together. |
| How will you help me overcome the problems and frustrations I have with my music skills? | A normal music teacher has no plan for you. He will teach you from lesson to lesson, often "winging it" ("what do you want to learn today?") without a real long-term strategy to solve your REAL guitar playing problems. | We will set up a plan, with expectations and deadlines from the very first session, tailored to your specific goals and needs to effectively solve your musical problems and build on your strengths. We will constanctly refine the plan by keeping track of your progress and revising your goals. |
| Do you offer any more learning occasions outside of "normal" lesson? | An average music teacher will just give you a 30m frontal private lesson. He will not bother with other formats. | Not only do we offer a range of different lesson formats to suit your individual needs, we also organize thematic workshops and practice sessions. Workshops are great opportunities for you to expand your knowledge and focus on specific aspects of your music. |
| How can you help me make sure that I am practicing in the most efficient and effective ways between my lessons? | An average teacher will just tell you to practice more - or simply never address the topic of how to practice! | We will show you in detail how to practice every single exercise we give you so when you go home you will know EXACTLY what to do. By knowing HOW to practice and WHY to practice specific exercises you will save a lot of time in your practice, which translates to more results with less effort! You will also have access to the private area of our website that contains video lessons about practicing and other material that will help you organize your practice time |
| Will you travel to my place and teach me in my house? If not, I have a teacher living just around the corner, so why should I bother to come to your place? | Average teachers come to your place because they do not have many students, and want to get more experience teaching. They will do ANYTHING to make you their guinea pig - and have YOU pay for it. Some of the more inexperienced teachers will come to your place just to hide the fact that they do not have access to a studio! | As all serious pro teachers, we teach from our studio and not from the student's house. Our students come to see us from all the greater Edmonton area (St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Stony Plain). We have students coming from as far as Vegreville and Wainwright! All these students find that the value and quality we provide in our lessons is more important than the minor inconvenience of driving to our studio. Also, we are centrally located in an area well-served by public transportation and with available parking space. As a great player once said: "an hour spent driving to a great music teacher will save you 10 years of frustrations with the instrument". Which one would you rather have? |
| I am looking for the cheapest teacher around! Surely your lessons are not expensive? | Average music teachers do not have many students and the only way they have to attract you is to have very low rates. The cheapest teachers tend also to be the less experienced ones and they will often teach you the wrong things or foster bad habits (We know because their ex-students come to us and we have to fix their mistakes). All the money you spend with inexperienced teachers is money down the drain. | We FIX the DAMAGE that cheap music lessons and average music teachers cause to their students. Great music teachers are always in demand and require a fair payment for their services. In return they give you the best learning strategies and the results you are expecting. This does not mean that a good teacher is expensive. We have many different programs to accommodate students on any budget. You can be sure that you are making a sound investment with us. However we definitely are not the cheapest option around. If you are sick, you should not choose the cheapest doctor you can find. In the same way, if you want to get better at playing you should not choose the cheapest teacher. For more info on how a quality teacher can SAVE you money, download this guide on choosing the right music teacher. |
| How can you prove that your teaching strategies are effective? | Most teachers cannot do this: they do not even HAVE a teaching strategy! They may know something about music but they never really studied how to TEACH an instrument. | We have taught many satisfied students over the years. You can make sure of this by clicking on the videos on this page or by visiting our student testimonials page to hear our students playing and listen to their learning experience with us. Also, unlike most music teachers we constantly work on improving our pedagogy and our teaching skills. Our chief instructor is a member of the Elite Music Teacher’s Inner Circle Program run by the World’s most successful on-line music instructor Tom Hess, and this keeps the whole team on the leading edge of music teaching |
