11/24/09-PRACTICE PAYS OFF!
Congratulations to Stephen Hepburn, one of our students who was chosen by his teacher to attend the Steve Vai Alien Guitar Workshop. It was a very rare opportunity to meet and hear what one of the greatest guitar players of all time had to say to a small group of players about guitar, music in general and a score of other things. Consistantly showing up and practicing diligently got him this honor. Thanks to Chris Bullen for supplying the ticket and helping to bring Steve Vai to Calgary.

Music is an important part of our lives, it is the ultimate expression of our feelings and a universal language that spans both geography as well as generations. Music is an important part of childhood development and studies have shown that children who learn music have a much easier time understanding math, language and everything needed to interact with our world and each other. At MCC we strive to provide our students the best musical education we can. Our teachers are well educated and can offer lessons to beginners as well as advanced students. Whatever the level, whatever the style, we have a teacher that will suit your needs. We at Music Centre Canada offer music lessons in Calgary for Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Piano, Keyboard and Vocals. You can find everything you need to get started right in our store, such as books and accessories as well as a wide selection of instruments, all at the best prices in town. Our standard music lessons are one-on-one, however, we do offer group workshops as well. We offer our students an open curriculum because not everyone learns the same way and not everyone wants to learn the same thing. This means that we can tailor your music education program specifically for you. Whether you want to learn musical theory or get yourself ready for royal conservatory training, or if you just want to learn a few songs that you love, our teachers can get you where you want to go.  From rock & roll and metal to country or even classical and jazz, we can set you up with the right teacher for your interests, all in one place.

 Over the years, we have had students go on to become members of platinum selling recording bands, and top names in the Los Angeles studio scene.  Others have forged successful careers as touring jazz artists, and some have found themselves playing next to some of the top names in the music industry. Whether you are looking to become the next big breakout artist, or just want to be able to play some of your favorite songs for your family and friends, there is something in music for everyone. Despite what you may have heard, or may think, anyone can learn to play music with the right instruction, it is a gift given to all of us, it is in our soul. So what are you waiting for? It's time to pick up an instrument and start rockin'!

What age do you start teaching?
    Usually around 6, although we have taught younger, as long as your child is patient and attentive we can teach them.

How much are lessons?
    The average is $100 per month, for a more detailed breakdown, see our pricing page.

What instrument is right for me?
