Private Lessons · All Ages
One-on-one guitar lessons built around you.
There's a reason the guitar hooks people: it plugs straight into the music they already love. Whether it's Ed Sheeran on the radio, a Hendrix riff, or three chords around a campfire, the payoff comes fast — you sit down and play something you recognize.
That's exactly what we teach toward. Good guitar lessons aren't about memorizing shapes on a fretboard; they're about getting a real instrument into your hands and making music feel possible — first chord, first song, first riff. Our hand-picked instructors meet each student where they are, whether that's a total beginner, a kid learning a favourite song, or someone dusting off the guitar after years away.
- Structured 30–60 minute lessons that quickly build confidence & excitement
- A focus on songs and repertoire that excite you, aligned with your musical goals
- A balanced level of music theory to support real understanding
- Multiple chances to perform in public every year — care centers, fairs & backyard concerts
- Clear weekly goals and homework guidance
- A student lesson portal with schedules, homework resources & class notes

Sing & Strum · Ages 6+
Group guitar classes for musical beginners.
Sing & Strum is small-group guitar instruction for beginners, built around chord playing, strumming patterns, rhythm and basic music theory — plus singing while playing, all at once. Classes stay small and tightly age-banded (max a 2-year gap) so every student gets real attention.
Students build listening skills, perseverance and confidence while learning popular songs from artists like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, The Beatles and Bob Dylan — real music they already want to play.

City of Toronto & Mississauga
A "heart-first" educator with a rare mix of playing skill, teaching experience and a soft, approachable manner that puts new students — including early beginners — instantly at ease. Shub's student-centric approach led him to run community music programming for both the City of Mississauga and the City of Toronto.
Expect well-structured lessons focused on engagement and enjoyment, getting kids and adults playing their favourite pop and rock songs early and often.
"Shubrat is a very encouraging guitar teacher who makes learning fun and easy to understand. His patience and positive attitude made every lesson enjoyable, and I learned a lot in a short amount of time."
— Tracy Cui, former student
"As a true rookie who didn't even know how to properly hold a guitar on day one, I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Shubrat. He anticipates exactly where you'll struggle and keeps you motivated."
— Mayuri Lalwani, former student
"I had a pleasure of learning guitar from Shub. I went from having no musical or guitar experience to being able to identify parts of the guitar and terminology, how to identify and play chords, and play songs. What was especially impactful was gaining a new passion for the instrument, as his passion was contagious. He was always there to answer questions, make sure I was progressing in the right way, and jam with us."
— Michael M., former student
