Burke Music Studio

I hope everyone’s having a great summer! I love learning new things and set a goal this week to learn one of my all time favourite guitar solos. Larry Carlton’s guitar solo in the Steely Dan’s Kid Charlemagne. It was quite challenging, but also quite rewarding. Happy practicing everyone!

I'd like to wish everyone a safe and happy summer!! Enjoy your time with family and friends.

Hi folks! What a great start to September. It's great to be teaching in our new home in lovely Musquodoboit Harbour. I have several openings for lessons on Tuesday and Thursday evenings so if you or anyone you know are interested just drop me a line and we'll set something up. Cheers everyone!

Good morning everyone, I hope you're having a great long weekend! Just a reminder to all that lessons will officially be starting up again this Tuesday. Any of my students who haven't contacted me yet to confirm your spots please do so as spots are filling up. On the other hand, if you are interested in music lessons this year I am accepting new students as well. Looking forward to another great year in the studio!

What a great arrangement of a classic! Gabriella Quevedo is from Argentina and is really making a name for herself in the realm of fingerpicking. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Wow!! Some impressive picking from this 8 year old! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3qbB4Kq3Y0

I've had this song stuck in my head all week. A great song to wrap up another wonderful school year with. Cheers everyone.

Trumpet great Wynton Marsalis demonstrates some improvisation techniques. What a wonderful musician and educator. http://youtu.be/_Amwq43-lrM

Exciting news for the studio. My wife and I bought a home on West Petpeswick Road and are moving on July 16th. The studio will have a new setting starting then! A number of my students will be continuing after the move, however I'll be able to add more spaces starting in September! If I get enough interest I'll consider opening up another night of the week as well. If you or anyone you know are looking for music lessons feel free to drop me a line!
