Guitar & Bass Teacher With Real-World Performance & Production Experience

Recording Artist, Producer & Guitar Instructor

Anisimus Thapa is a Toronto-based session musician, recording artist, producer, and music educator with over 10 years of musical experience and extensive teaching experience working with students of all ages and skill levels. He is known for helping students become confident, creative musicians through guitar, performance, and practical music skills.

Students looking for guitar & bass lessons in North York will benefit from Anisimus’s combination of teaching experience, performance background, and music production knowledge.

Musical Background & Professional Experience

As a graduate of Tyndale University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, Anisimus combines formal musical training with extensive real-world performance and production experience. As a recording artist and producer, he has released instrumental works including Exodus, Reminiscences, and Eseosa, while also collaborating with and producing for various artists. This ongoing professional work brings valuable industry insight into his teaching and helps students connect musical concepts to real-world applications.

Music is deeply personal to him, carrying the legacy of his late father, Isaac Thapa, whose love for music continues to inspire the way he teaches, performs, and creates.

Practical, Performance-Focused Music Lessons

Anisimus believes that music should feel practical, engaging, and rewarding from the very first lesson. His teaching approach combines real-world performance experience with structured musical development, helping students build both technical skills and musical confidence.

Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals and experience level, whether they are picking up an instrument for the first time or looking to refine advanced techniques. Rather than relying solely on repetitive exercises, Anisimus combines student-selected songs with carefully structured learning material that helps students understand the musical ideas behind what they are playing.

Building Confident & Creative Musicians

Students develop practical musicianship through improvisation, fretboard visualization, scales, harmony, rhythm training, songwriting, and performance preparation. Drawing from his experience as a performing musician, recording artist, and producer, Anisimus helps students connect theory to real musical situations and develop skills they can use both on stage and in the studio.

To support consistent progress between lessons, he provides learning resources such as tabs, backing tracks, charts, and other student-focused materials designed to keep practice engaging, productive, and enjoyable. His goal is to help students become confident, creative musicians while developing a lifelong appreciation for music.

Who Anisimus Is A Good Fit For

A Performance-Focused Guitar & Bass Teacher For Beginner To Advanced Students

Because of his background as a recording artist, producer, session musician, and educator, we feel that Anisimus would be an excellent fit for a wide range of students, including children, teens, and adults studying at beginner to advanced levels. Students looking to build strong technical foundations while also developing creativity, musical confidence, and practical playing skills will benefit from his balanced approach to music education.

Students interested in rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues, pop, CCM, songwriting, improvisation, music production, or recording will also appreciate learning from an instructor who actively works within Toronto’s music community and brings real-world experience into every lesson.

Prior to committing to further lessons, we encourage students and parents to begin with an introductory lesson so they can meet the teacher, discuss goals, and assess the student’s current level. During the introductory lesson, Anisimus can also recommend lesson frequency, lesson length, practice strategies, and areas of focus moving forward.

To continue after your introductory lesson—or if you have any questions—please contact our scheduling team at [email protected]. Our team will be happy to assist you with ongoing lesson scheduling and availability.

If you are looking for guitar & bass lessons in North York, Anisimus is a strong option for students seeking practical, performance-focused music instruction.

Take Your Guitar & Bass Skills Beyond Private Lessons

Enhance Your Private Lessons Through Group Classes & Performance Opportunities

Private guitar and bass lessons are one of the best ways to build strong musical foundations, develop technique, and gain confidence as a musician. However, many students benefit from opportunities to apply those skills in a collaborative musical environment. Once students have developed some foundational skills, we often encourage them to explore group programs where they can rehearse, perform, and grow alongside other musicians.

For younger and teen students, our Rock/Pop Band Programs Ages (10–13) & (14–17) provide exciting opportunities to work with other musicians, develop ensemble skills, prepare songs as a group, and perform in front of an audience. Students often find that band rehearsals help improve listening skills, creativity, teamwork, stage presence, and overall musical confidence while making the learning process even more enjoyable.

During the summer months, students may also enjoy participating in our Summer Music Camps, where they can experience intensive group rehearsals, collaborative music-making, songwriting activities, and live performances in a fun and supportive environment.

Adult students looking to perform and connect with other musicians may benefit from our Adult Jam Sessions 18 To 35 and Adult Jam Sessions 35+ programs. These sessions provide a welcoming environment where musicians can collaborate, develop practical musicianship, gain performance experience, and continue growing outside of private lessons.

Whether your goal is to perform on stage, play in a band, improve your confidence, or simply enjoy making music with others, these group programs can be an excellent complement to private guitar and bass lessons with Anisimus.

I also understand that there will be specific and non-negotiable times for the departure and arrival of some of the Camp’s transportation, and EMA has the right to cancel my child(ren)’s participation in the motorized vehicle if these departure and arrival times are not respected. Furthermore, I agree that no general or limited partner, shareholder, director, officer, member, beneficiary, trustee, manager, other controlling person, investor, employee, attorney, agent, property owners, landlord, or independent contractor of EMA shall be personally liable for any obligation or liability of such party in connection with the Camp, and all obligations and liabilities of such party in connection with the Camp are enforceable solely against such party and such party’s assets, and not against any Exculpated Person or the assets of any Exculpated Person. Medical Treatment: In connection with any injury my child(ren) may sustain or illness or other medical conditions my child(ren) may experience during his and/or her participation in or attendance at the Camp, I authorize any emergency first aid, medication, medical treatment or surgery deemed necessary by the attending medical personnel if I am not able to act on my child’s behalf.

I hereby warrant that I have the right to make this release on behalf of my child(ren) and that my granting this waiver and release and the rights conveyed thereby will not infringe upon the rights of any third party.

I acknowledge that, in the event of any breach by EMA or any third party, the damage, if any, caused me or my child(ren) thereby will not be irreparable or otherwise sufficient to entitle me or him/her/they to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, and my child(ren) and I will be strictly limited to the right, if any, to recover damages in an action at law. Neither my child(ren) nor I will have either the right to rescind or terminate this waiver and release or any of EMA’s rights hereunder, or the right to enjoin the production, exhibition, or other exploitation of my child’s name, voice and likeness or any subsidiary or allied rights with respect thereto.
