Guitar Instructor, Music Educator, Jazz, Rock, Pop & Folk
Hi I’m Darryl- A passionate guitar instructor with over a decade of experience in both teaching and performing. Holding a Master’s degree in Community Music, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my students. I am experienced in teaching students of all ages and skill levels and I have also taught students for the RCM, ABRSM, Trinity, and Rock School music board examinations.
My musical journey spans across diverse genres including jazz, rock, pop, and folk. As an active member of Toronto’s live music scene, I perform regularly with two bands: a jazz-fusion ensemble and an Indian rock/folk band. These experiences enrich my teaching, offering real-world insights and techniques that I love to share with my students.
I believe in a personalized teaching approach that balances structure with flexibility. Whether you’re aiming to perform confidently on stage or preparing for a music exam, I tailor my lessons to meet your goals and learning style. I foster a student-centric environment where creativity is encouraged, allowing my students to explore their musical interests and develop their unique voice on the guitar.
In my classes, you can expect a fun and interactive atmosphere where we not only follow a practical approach but also explore the theory behind the music. I believe understanding the “why” alongside the “how” enhances musical comprehension and fosters a deeper appreciation for the instrument and music.
Let’s work together to achieve all your musical goals!
