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.
