"Jaime from Greater Toronto Music School started working with my kids teaching keyboard and acoustic guitar when the pandemic began. Neither had prior experience with instruments. All of our lessons have been over video conferencing and they have been amazing! Jaime is excellent at teaching and keeping my kids engaged. I never imagined they could progress so well, especially without in-person classes. Lessons are fun and; he is extremely patient and helpful and is always encouraging their progress. "

" The Greater Toronto Music school admin team has great response time and are effective communicators. I am taking lessons from one of their teachers (Jesse) and although lessons have been online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the level of expertise shines through the screen. I have learned a lot so far and look forward to continuing on for many years to come. Highly recommend!"

"Madison has moved me ahead more in the past two months than I moved forward over the past several years.She is able to identify the areas where I need to improve AND exactly what I should be working on. I am very comfortable with the online format and in fact happy I don't have to go anywhere for my lesson.The cost per lesson is modest; I feel I get great value. Jaime actually calls and emails me to check in, see how things are going, which is really welcomed. "

My six year old son has been taking drum lessons from GTMS and couldn't
be more excited about it. I was worried that introducing my young child to a musical instrument over Skype wouldn't hold his attention, but Greater Toronto Music School consistently delivers fun and age appropriate lessons that are energetic and suited to his interests. He has learned so much and feels like a little rock star. I would highly recommend Greater Toronto Music School to anyone looking to introduce their child to music.

I have been with the school for almost 2 months now. My instructor,Madeline, is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She is also punctual and extremely helpful as I am a beginner. The portal used for communication is also great! Helps keep everything in one place. Jaime is great at communicating as well. He is always sending reminders and checking up. The payment process is as smooth as it can be. Overall, highly recommend Greater Toronto Music School.

Recording & EDM — your questions, answered
We get many questions about music production lessons in Toronto. Below you will find the answers to the most common ones. If you have other questions, don't hesitate to contact us!
Getting started
Many adults wonder if they are too old to begin with music production lessons in Toronto despite a deep love for music and a strong desire to learn to play. Our answer: You are never too old to begin playing or to work more on your craft. We have had many students in their 70s and 80s and are amazed by how music can keep an aging mind extremely sharp and provides a great outlet for creativity as well!
Music producers work behind the scenes to help artists bring their creations to life. Music producers will record, edit, mix and master music and are often integral parts in the writing process. In many cases, music producers will draw on their network of musicians to help bring in the best personnel for the project. Music producers will need to have strong leadership skills, communication skills and a great ear for music.
Our top Toronto music production instructors have worked on many projects spanning different genres and are available to help you on your journey. Artists like David Guetta, Kygo and Deadmau5 are considered producers as well, however, instead of producing other artists they are frequently working on their own compositions. This music is then released and self-performed to their immense fan bases.
Our music production lessons can also be geared towards individuals who are interested in producing and performing electronic dance music. We recommend having a chat with your Toronto music production instructor to make sure that lesson plans are cohesive with your goals.
Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) are software programs that help in the composing, recording, editing, mixing and mastering of music. Our Toronto music production teachers are well versed in most major DAWs, including Protools, Logic, Ableton and Cubase. We are able and comfortable to teach whichever DAW that you prefer to use during your music lessons in Toronto. If you are unsure which is most suited for your needs, feel free to contact us and we will give you our opinion.
In general, if you are interested in composing and performing EDM, Ableton tends to be the best. Protools is the industry standard in a recording situation and Logic is becoming increasingly popular for Mac users due to its user friendliness and amazing capabilities. Many skills are interchangeable amongst DAWs once you become comfortable with the interface.
While it is not essential, we strongly recommend music lessons in Toronto on an instrument before diving into the world of production. Many great producers, especially in trap and hip hop, are not able to play an instrument well. The best producers, however, are most often competent on at least one instrument. Learning at an instrument is an invaluable skill to producers as it will help with overall musicality, listening skills, knowledge of theory & harmony and more.
If you're unsure where to begin, consider piano lessons. Piano is best since it will teach about tonality and harmony and also, most midi controllers are keyboards so your piano skills will be extremely helpful while trying to compose.
Learning & development
Many adults wonder if they are too old to begin with music production lessons in Toronto despite a deep love for music and a strong desire to learn to play. Our answer: You are never too old to begin playing or to work more on your craft. We have had many students in their 70s and 80s and are amazed by how music can keep an aging mind extremely sharp and provides a great outlet for creativity as well!
It is important to have access to a DAW and depending on your goals, some microphones and/or a midi controller to practice the skills you're learning during your music production lessons in Toronto. If you opt for online or in-home Toronto music production lessons, you will need this stuff during your lessons as well. Some of our students rent an instrument and some own one, but it is essential that you or your child have access to an instrument for music production lessons in Toronto. We can help you find the best option for you, just contact us.
Yes! Our Toronto production teachers are extremely versatile and can help you learn to produce classical or contemporary styles. We have lots of experience producing and recording Pop, Rock, R&B, EDM, Jazz and Classical music. Just let us know your goals and interests and we will make sure that your Toronto music production lessons are helping you achieve them.
In addition to their post-secondary music education, our Toronto music production teachers have many years of teaching, performing and recording experience. Many have worked on projects that have stream counts in excess of 1 million. Drawing on their education and experience as professional musicians, teachers will devise lesson plans specifically for each student, taking into consideration their skill levels, musical interests and learning styles. Our goal is to make music production lessons in Toronto fun and engaging, while maintaining a strong focus on learning core fundamental skills.
