Have you ever wanted to learn to play an instrument? Has accessing instruments been a barrier to you? We have lots of instruments that are not currently being used and we'd like to gauge interest in creating an instrument lending library! This would be a free service on the honour system. We'd reserve the right to request instruments back at any time (although we don't anticipate holding in-person lessons/camps any time soon). One instrument per person at a time. You must live within Metro Vancouver (pick up/drop off possible). We have guitars, basses, drums, keyboards and much more! Comment/questions below or drop us a line at [email protected] if you want to get started!

Hello! We are officially starting our free online classes! Our first class, how to compose, arrange, and produce your own song using Garageband*, begins December 5th at 2:30pm. Sign up by sending a message to [email protected] and we will send you the zoom meeting link. Workshop info: Want to learn how to write a song, but don’t have an instrument? Or a band? Is COVID-19 preventing you from playing music with your friends? Learn how to compose, arrange, and prod...uce your own song using Garageband* and other free music production software in our online composition and music production lessons! No music experience required (though all levels are welcome), no need for fancy equipment. In this course you will learn how to write exciting melodies, basic harmony, supporting bass lines, and compelling drum beats. We will discuss how to write great song lyrics, how to assemble the different parts of a song, and how to mix and produce a finished song. Students will have the opportunity to compose a song (or several songs) in any genre using a variety of techniques, sounds, and styles while working closely with the instructor. *Garageband is available for free on all Apple devices (computers, iPad, iPhone). If you do not have an Apple device but would like to take this course, please let us know and we can accommodate the use of another PC-friendly application." *best suited for ages 12-18 but all are welcome! message us or email [email protected] for more information or to register
