We offer lessons for beginner to advanced students.

We realize that people take lessons for different reasons and will endeavor to find the long term goals of the student and find a way to reach them in a manner that is acceptable to the student. We want our students to take as much control of the content of their lessons as they feel comfortable with and our teachers are not stuck in any pre-written curriculum.

Theory and practical application as well as songwriting, improvisation, gear and set-up for live playing can be discussed. Feel free to talk to your teacher about anything music related — we have tremendous resources available in our store and there is no reason that a guitar lesson, or any other for that matter, cannot delve into other areas.

Lesson fees are $17.00 per 1/2 HOUR LESSON [No GST]
Typically a student will have one (1/2 hour) lesson per week.

RECORDING TECHNOLOGY (6-WEEK COURSE)

 

 

 

This course is currently only available at Axe Music Calgary

With today's computers becoming more and more cost effective, the idea of a complete studio in one box is now a reality. Tape based recording is becoming obsolete and, if you are sick and tired of waiting for your master to rewind or cue, you're going to love the random and instant access of hard disc recording.

This course will cover everything from installation of the software, configuring the computer and getting audio and midi in and out of the machine to advanced topics like the v.s.t. mixer, using plug-ins and all the other features of this very powerful program.

You'll get lots of “hands on” time as we are keeping our class sized to 4-6 people and the Axe instructor is very patient and personable.


The course consists of 6 weeks of 2 hr. sessions.

Course cost is $299.00 [no gst]
