We love the energy and power that Canada’s drummers bring to the music scene. Who wouldn’t want to sit behind the kit and learn from the best? Whether you’re a complete beginner or an aspiring drummer looking to sharpen your skills, taking lessons with one of Canada’s top performing artists is an experience that goes beyond the basics. You’ll learn directly from drummers who are actively playing, recording, and touring—artists who live and breathe rhythm.

Your lessons are one-on-one, personalized to your goals, and available either online or in person in Montreal or Toronto.

Below, you’ll find a list of our drum instructors currently accepting students. Our roster is always growing—so if you don’t see what you’re looking for, reach out! We’ll keep you in the loop as we welcome new artists. And if you’re curious about expanding your musicianship, don’t miss the chance to explore voice lessons or music production too.

Pricing

60 CAD / 30 min

Drum lessons are offered at $100 per hour or $60 for a half-hour session (no tax on music lessons in Canada), and are tailored to meet you at your current level—whether you’re just picking up sticks for the first time or looking to expand your professional skillset. You’ll build strong fundamentals with a focus on proper technique, posture, grip, and coordination, while also learning to master rudiments (like single stroke rolls and paradiddles), develop tight grooves, and play along to your favourite songs. As your confidence grows, we’ll explore improvisation, musicality, and even advanced concepts like odd time signatures, polyrhythms, and double kick techniques. Each lesson is hands-on, practical, and designed to make you feel at home behind the kit.

As a drummer and audio engineer, I’ve worked on over 230 songs for nearly 50 artists and have toured and recorded extensively with the indie-pop band Peach Luffe—achieving 15 million+ Spotify streams and performing at major events like South by Southwest and CBC Live. With experience both on stage and in the studio, I bring real-world insight into every lesson. My teaching style is supportive and engaging, with the goal of helping you feel empowered, expressive, and musically free—whether you want to jam casually, join a band, or hit the stage yourself.

Jordanne was exceptional - I can't recommend her work enough to anyone seeking to improve their vocal technique and/or strength. She takes a full-body approach to singing, based on her training in Alexander Technique, which in my case meant connecting my posture to tension across my whole body. With Jordanne's guidance I was able to go from singing with tension and strain to singing with fluidity and support, all within a very short period of time. The newfound confidence I have in my voice is life-changing!

Robert is the best voice teacher I've ever had. In addition to having an amazing voice and range (helpful when I need to hear the notes back) he's incredibly supportive and fun to work with. I've improved my voice drastically and he really helped me through learning to belt and riff! Thank you Robert!!

I absolutely LOVE Tylor. I started singing last May and I was super nervous about it. Singing is extremely personal and vulnerable, and for me it’s been so hard to feel comfortable enough to go to lessons because of how insecure I am about my voice. Once I summoned the courage to finally take lessons, I have to say that Tylor really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.

Jordanne is great teacher! For the first time I contact her, I am very pleased. She took the time to truly understand what I needed. And, the first time I met her she made me feel so comfortable that I felt at ease to express myself. She made me do some exercise to see what my blocage was. Then gave me a routine, which is exactly what I needed. It have been only 3 courses but I can experience the change and improvement. And not only in singing and piano. I wasn’t aware of all the tension I use to have in my body. Now that I am conscious of that, I am able to relax my body and feel a deep connection.

I did my first lesson with Jordie last week. She is very patient and has a lot of knowledge on vocal training. She made me see things from a different light in just one session! Her knowledge is impeccable. I’m looking forward to working on my voice with her! I already feel improvement in just a week. Truly recommend her.

Throughly enjoyed my lessons with Express and Ian! Would definitely recommend. I looked for a long time for a singing teacher that I could have fun with, connect with, and grow my voice. Ian was definitely that teacher for me. The concerts were great too to be a part of.
Thank you guys!
