What People Are Saying
"I am LOVING this 😊. I’m sure if someone was to sneak downstairs while I’m playing (practicing) to my favourite tunes…they’d see me there with a huge smile. Peter is a great teacher and I’m enjoying learning."
Lana C
"It has been a pleasure to have Yoanna introduce piano to Becky & Mustafa introduce guitar to Rachel and making this a very positive experience for both of them."
Ruby
"Imagine Music is top notch! My daughter’s piano ability has sky rocketed since Jennifer became her teacher. She teaches her in a fun and supportive way. I highly recommend Imagine Music."
Kim
"I took voice lessons through Imagine Music Inc. for several years. I always had incredible instructors who challenged me and allowed me to grow as a vocalist. My time with Imagine Music gave me the confidence and skills to perform in various musical theatre productions and as an anthem singer for sporting events."
Amelia
"Jennifer has been exceptional at guiding me to work on piano pieces, theory, and technical work that are at exactly the right level. I always leave my lesson feeling encouraged and energized! Many thanks!"

"My teacher Jasmin and the school owner Jennifer have always been supportive and helpful. I've grown a lot in over a year of piano lessons and become more enthusiastic about the subject. I'm glad I'm taking lessons at this school!"
Clara
"Not coming from a musical background I have always been a bit intimidated by this space. Jennifer at Imagine Music has been very approachable, excited about anyone learning music, super encouraging of our venture into violin lessons for our 9-year-old.
Hannah Mortensen, our child's teacher is a great role model, and very encouraging. This music school celebrates music learning at any level."

"Jennifer is an exceptional music teacher. Our daughter has flourished because of Jennifer’s thoughtful, gentle mentorship. We’ve noticed during Imagine Music recitals that the teachers are hugely enthusiastic, and students proudly perform the pieces THEY chose. By treating
students as equal partners in their growth as musicians, Jennifer and her team keep students engaged and keen to practice and play. We know our daughter’s love of music will last a lifetime!"

"My 11 year old daughter Cindy has taken private piano and vocal lessons with Marilyn since she was 4. Marilyn is a wonderful and talented instructor with very effective teaching methods. She is very patient and caring to her students. She specializes in piano
and vocal lessons to fit students' needs. Marilyn and Cindy not only work on technique but also theory, musicality, and effective practicing. The thing I like most about Marilyn is she has a genuine love of music and she inspires Cindy to enjoy music as she does. She also makes the lessons fun, so Cindy is motivated to practice all the time. Thanks to Marilyn's positive and encouraging teaching style, lessons are always enjoyable!"

"As an adult learner of piano, it can be intimidating to take lessons but Jennifer was able to cut through that fear with her gentle and encouraging approach. I have really enjoyed playing piano as a form of therapy and Jennifer has been able to make it a relaxing yet fun experience every time I am in the studio."

Frequently Asked Questions

A very versatile instrument like the piano, students can learn chords and play melodies with the guitar. We have students as young as seven and as old as 60 learning to rock it out!

Finger playability, size, sounds and amps, and the type of music generated are key differences between acoustic and electric guitars. It all comes down to what you want to learn and play. We can guide you on choosing the right guitar and equipment when you contact us.

While the bass is similarly designed to the guitar, it only has four strings and sounds in the lower registers. In many cases, the bass acts as a supporting instrument, laying the song’s foundation and allowing the guitar to play off it. Understanding bass can be crucial to developing your skills as a guitarist. Thankfully, we offer bass lessons if needed!

Yes, it can! The similarities between the two instruments mean you can easily play both once you understand the musical dynamics and differences (the ukulele has four strings to the guitar’s six). In many cases, the ukulele is a great stepping stone to guitar. We can offer you ukulele lessons to expand your repertoire.

Guitar

Aileen has been playing, teaching and performing guitar for over 30 years. She received her Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Calgary and had the privilege of playing in master classes with several internationally known guitarists (including Oscar Ghiglia, Benjamin Verdery, Sharon Isbin and Scott Tennant and studied under Jacob Salomons). Further study took Aileen across Canada and to Germany for festivals and competitions and then private study with Lily Afshar in Memphis. During this time, Aileen volunteered as Artistic Director of the Classical Guitar Society and presented a singer-songwriter series that included an amazing group of artists from both our East and West coasts (including Matt Andersen, Jill Barber, Rose Cousins, , Catherine MacLellan, and Erin Costello).

Now Aileen divides her time performing at weddings and corporate events and teaching.

Aileen is excited to introduce first time students to the guitar and is equally enthusiastic to teach students already set on their musical journey. She believes that a strong technical foundation allows students to explore any style of music.

Aileen would love to share her years for musical knowledge while encouraging self-discipline, creative expression and the freedom to explore and have fun with their imagination.
