About J

I began playing electric guitar in my early teens inspired by the pop-punk music of the time which I quickly dropped once I heard Jimi Hendrix. Soon I was playing poor covers of classic rock tunes with some buddies of mine, but we eventually got a little bit better and wrote a few of our own tunes and made it into a Battle Of The Bands and were even featured at an international music festival !

After high school, I went onto study classical guitar and composition. In my university days, I had a very inspiring, multi-genre teacher who taught me jazz and improvisation, and was able to play in the university Big Band until I graduated. Along with classical recitals, I also performed with my jazz quartet (and sometimes octet depending on who was around) at bars, weddings, corporate functions, banquets and pretty much any gig we could get.

After graduating I moved to Montréal and began to focus more on writing and recording original music. I played with a few different groups (even a gypsy / klezmer band), backed singer-songwriters, and even played the odd jazz gig on bass. Currently, I am happily married to my band of several years and have released two EPs, a slew of singles, and are expecting to put out a full album in 2021.

PS For most of this time I also have worked as a guitar and bass transcriber for a few popular music learning websites and several prominent Youtube guitar channels which has exposed me to many styles and playing techniques, so whatever style you are into, I can teach it!

About the lesson

My main teaching philosophy is to teach students to play the music they enjoy. It sounds like a no-brainer but I have had teachers in the past who only showed me songs that they enjoyed or used method books that teach you "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or "Hot Crossed Buns" (and if you like those songs then we can learn those). All that to say, whatever the student's goal on the instrument, I will take them step by step until they reach it. For a beginning musician, the fundamentals of the instrument are given the highest priority: how to tune your instrument, names of all the notes, essential chords, basic strumming, playing in time and understanding basic rhythm. For someone who already plays but needs a little help getting out of the rut, we'll spend time fixing bad technical habits, hammering home the fundamentals, expanding their repertoire, and slowly moving outside of the comfort zone to new horizons. With advanced players, listening (ear training), transcribing, song analysis, exploring advanced theory concepts, and focusing on composition and improvisation are most important. With all levels of students, I make playlists that I update after each lesson they can hear real examples of what we are covering, as well as provide detailed written notes in TAB and standard notation so they can refer to everything we covered and know what to practice. So, it's fun!

Perfect! We had our first trial guitar lesson with J. and it was a great experience. He is very communicative, friendly, and clearly talented. He took the time to explore what my daughter has already learnt and helped her improve some chords and strumming in a clear and encouraging way. He is patient, skilled, and attentive to detail, making sure she understood not only what to play but how to play it correctly. The lesson was motivating, and adapted to her level, which made my daughter feel comfortable and confident. We were very happy with the lesson and look forward to continuing with him.

Perfect! I am very happy to have started the lessons with J - besides the impressive theoretical knowledge he also understands the difficulties of starting with zero experience and has a lot of patience. He's reliable and is truly interested in his student's progess.

Perfect! J. is awesome! He really knows his stuff and jumped right in to practice songs that I like. He also knows a lot about song structure and music theory and is able to teach that in an interesting and fun way. He also has good structure to his lessons, in the first lesson we already set goals and I'm looking forward to reaching those.
The first lesson was already a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the next :)

J. is a fantastic teacher. He has a great understanding of music theory and is able to teach important and interesting basics related to each song I learn, which helps me build my own understanding of music theory.
His teaching style is very individual, at the start of each lesson he asks me what I want to do or if I have any questions about anything. That way all the songs I learn are songs I actually like to listen to and want to learn. I really appreciate his ability to learn songs by ear, so even if I show him a song that he never heard before (which is very rare), he can figure it out and help me learn it right away. He also encourages and helps me to learn this skill myself.
He also provided me with a very good structure for my home practice sessions. After each lesson I go home motivated to practice all the things we talked about.

Justin has been my electric bass teacher for about six months now, and I’m very happy I found him! I’ve made a lot of progress with his lessons because he has a great way of combining music theory with learning actual songs. The lessons are never boring, as I always get to choose the songs we work on.

He’s very experienced and knows exactly how to teach—he really knows what he’s doing! He’s also very patient, which I really appreciate. On top of that, he’s very flexible when it comes to scheduling; we’ve had to adjust our sessions to fit my schedule a few times, and it was never a problem.

All in all, I’ve really enjoyed learning a new instrument with him.
