What’s HOT? What’s NEW?
NEW COLLABORATIONS: The Joe Show Goes LIVE!
For the coming academic year I’m pleased to announce two exciting collaborations that will bring me to Toronto on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the 2019-20 academic year.
FRIDAYS @ the Lynwood Academy (York Mills/Leslie)
Starting in September I will be teaching theory classes during the afterschool/evening at the dynamic Lynwood Academy. This is the follow up to a successful summer school theory program that I conducted with a group of talented young musicians.
For information on classes, subjects, fees, and scheduling,
please contact Lynwood’s Director Lena Lin @ 647 618 6937.
SATURDAYS @ the Berkovsky Solomon Academy of Music (Bayview/Steeles)
I am pleased to announce an exciting new collaboration with Michael Berkovsky and Coral Solomon commencing September, 2019. On Saturday afternoons I will be conducting Musicianship classes (ear training, sight singing, solfege, introduction to music history). These classes are aimed at very young students and will help them build a strong musical foundation in while engaging both their mind and IMAGINATION!
There will also be group classes in Theory Levels 1-5, and Theory Levels 6-8. Class sizes will remain small; hence space is very limited. For more information and registration please call: Coral Solomon @ 647 339 3500.
Also, I look forward to welcoming advanced theory students from the Berkovsky Solomon Academy of Music to my online (Music without Borders) theory classes! Keep the Faith!
