About me
Sharing my love for music and the skills I've developed along my journey is what I love to do. My teaching is informed by over 8 years of experience as a gigging musician, a bachelor's degree in jazz guitar performance, and my time spent studying with Canadian jazz guitar giants Lorne Lofsky, David Occhipinti, and Geoff Young. My time now is mostly spent in deep exploration of the unique topics that excite each of my students and developing new ways of introducing concepts and adapting material to have a lasting impression on each student.

Lessons
Learn the ins and outs of jazz with any level of guitar experience. Choose to dive deep into a sea of wonderful complexity or come to understand just how beautifully simple this music is at its core.
Making good music is about knowing (intuitively or consciously) how to navigate the rise and fall of tension and release. Master the skills that are needed to create powerful music.

Philosophy
I have a heartfelt passion for delivering captivating and authentic lessons tailored to achieving your unique goals. That is why I create a comfortable and supportive environment, I equip my students with detailed lesson notes and feedback, and I supply original handouts and resources that are oriented to your unique aspirations. I guarantee kind and unrushed lessons. That is why I never schedule students back-to-back. I also have a low cap on the number of students I allow myself to take on to ensure that each student receives the careful preparation, attention, and prompt communication they deserve.

Environment
Lessons are offered in my cozy, Scandinavian-minimalist home studio - conveniently located just one minute from Spadina station.

My studio is currently equipped with a ZT Lunchbox amp, a beautiful, super-advanced Spark Positive Grid amp, a Headrush MX5 multi-effects pedal, various other pedals, a Gibson 339, a Strandberg Fusion 6, among many other exciting instruments and devices for my students to use!

Hear what my students are saying! :)

"Oh Gosh - I can’t recommend learning guitar from Adrien enough!"

"I’m so grateful for the time I spent learning guitar from Adrien and I’m really proud of how much progress was made in only four months before I left town. I now feel confident looking at leadsheets and tabs and working my way through songs I love. I also feel like I can add my own musical fingerprint on tunes and maybe even look into writing some of my own stuff because of the patterns I’ve learned in chord progressions and the way we played with the songs we learned during lessons. Highly recommend!"

"Adrien showed me that it's never too old to follow your passion. He is incredibly patient and professional, always finding ways to help me understand the concepts and improve my skills. He is also very knowledgeable and passionate about music, and he always makes the lessons fun and engaging"

"I have been taking guitar lessons from Adrien for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience"

"Adrien has such a positive personality and is so encouraging as a teacher"

"I would highly recommend Adrien to anyone looking for a great guitar teacher. He truly has a gift for teaching and helping students reach their full potential, and he’s a real GEM!"
