I’ve been singing, playing guitar, performing live, and recording and releasing music for nearly 25 years. I showed a knack for piano and singing early on—my mom played piano at home, and my dad started taking my sister, my mom, and me to karaoke family outings when I was a wee lad of just 10 years old! I'm mostly self-taught, except for a year of piano lessons when I was nine and a year of guitar lessons at 13. I’ve also worked with three vocal coaches on and off since 2005. I currently write, sing, and play in three projects: Iduna (rock), Harold and Ruth (folk), and Macaroni Birthday, which is kind of like The Ramones, but for kids. I’ve performed throughout the GTA for decades, including festivals like Canadian Music Week, Indie Week, Do West Fest, and the Junction Music Festival. My original songs have been featured on SiriusXM, 94.9 FM, podcasts, and indie films. When it comes to teaching, I believe music should stay fun, approachable, and confidence-building. I’ve never wanted it to feel like a chore or a rigid school subject, so I aim to help students enjoy their musical journey and progress at a pace that works for them. I started leading music discovery classes for my son and his friends when they were about 2 years old (back in 2023), and around that same time, I started teaching my neighbours' two boys (now ages 6 and 10). Recently, their dad asked if I’d ever thought about teaching more because his boys love my music sessions, and honestly, I do too!

Over the years, I've taught toddlers, kids, and adults, but I began formally teaching music in 2023.

Hi, I'm David! I grew up in Trinidad & Tobago, where I fell in love with music early on, and eventually moved to Toronto to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Music at Humber College. I've been teaching drums to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students for over 20 years. My approach is simple: I break things down into clear, manageable steps so students feel real progress - not just during lessons, but every time they sit down to practice on their own. I also have an active performing career, playing alongside accomplished artists across Canada and the Caribbean. When I'm not teaching or playing, you'll find me watching sports, playing chess, or catching a good movie. I can't wait to meet you and your family!

Hi, I'm Leo! My passion for music began at the age of 12 when I first discovered rock music, and it has remained a driving force in my life ever since. I hold a Bachelor of Music from York University and have been teaching for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I have taught both private lessons and full classroom music programs in private schools. I am passionate about helping students succeed and have developed a proven teaching approach that motivates students to learn, practice consistently, and achieve meaningful results. My lessons are designed to be engaging, rewarding, and tailored to each student's unique goals and interests. I believe every student learns differently, which is why I adapt my teaching style to suit each individual's experience level, learning preferences, and musical aspirations. My goal is to create a positive and supportive environment where students feel encouraged to challenge themselves, celebrate their progress, and build lasting confidence in their musical abilities. In addition to teaching, I have spent more than 15 years performing in bands and ensembles of various styles and sizes. I have also created and directed numerous student bands, developing a unique approach to arranging music and leading group performances. This experience has helped many young musicians gain valuable ensemble skills and perform successfully with confidence and enthusiasm. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time or looking to take your playing to the next level, I look forward to helping you reach your musical goals.
