Our downtown Winnipeg music school offers private ukulele or guitar lessons for children and teenagers to adults, from beginner guitar and ukulele students to those seeking advanced guitar and ukulele instruction. Our highly-qualified faculty members teach a wide range of musical styles for guitar and ukulele. Every one of our guitar and ukulele instructors is highly qualified to teach. A majority hold Bachelor degrees, many possess Masters degrees and some have earned Doctorate degrees. Our guitar and ukulele instructors consider themselves musician/teachers — professional musicians who teach. Our guitar and ukulele teachers offer customized learning plans tailored to each student’s goals and skill level, to help them progress faster and further. Meet with one of our guitar or ukulele instructors before registering to find the right student/guitar or ukulele instructor combination and ensure the best learning experience possible.

Our student/guitar or ukulele instructor matching service

The student/guitar or ukulele instructor combination has an impact on a student’s learning, achieving and enjoyment of their musical experience, so it’s important to make the best match possible. That’s why our process includes an assessment of the students’ needs to match them with a faculty member for a free consultation.

Choosing your instrument

Individual instruction is available for both guitar and ukulele. If we don’t have an accredited instructor for the instrument you wish to study, we will seek to find one for you.

Students with a high level of commitment who have progressed to advanced repertoire increase their guitar or ukulele lesson time to one hour per week.
