GROUP CLASSES Marc Enkin’s “Jamming with a Coach” band classes for adults and older teens are fun, weekly band workshops for all instruments and vocalists, led by multi-instrumentalist and coach Marc Enkin, held in a relaxed, friendly, and supportive environment in west Toronto. You will learn the musical skills to play in a band, rhythmic ideas that help lock the band together, how to cue entrances and endings, and how to sing in harmony. Band members should have a year or more of playing experience, and a basic knowledge of chords (guitars, bass, piano, voice, drums, horns, etc.), but you do not need to know how to read music. Join by yourself, with a friend, or sign up your whole band for extra coaching. The band members choose the songs and I help you arrange them. He has a diploma from the Berklee College of Music, Boston and a BFA from York University, Toronto, and has many years of experience playing in a variety of bands and coaching bands. He still gets a thrill from teaching both young musicians and the young at heart. $300 for ten classes, 1.5 hours weekly. Fall term starts September 18.  

We offer expert instruction in piano, voice, guitar, electric bass, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, recorder, theory, and songwriting. Our popular “Jamming with a Coach” group classes start up again in September 2023.  Registration is ongoing. We offer lessons on a Yamaha grand piano (6.1 foot) or digital pianos. There is a new HEPA filter air cleaner and open windows at either end of the room.

Lessons are $34.50 for half-hour and $69 for one hour, payable in advance, in four-week blocks, by e-transfer. Register at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1wnB4ZWmoJmwp4VyIK6uBAJdxys_l5ncnj8a-x6Zrw0M/.
