Introducing

Glenn Paul

Glenn Paul

Imagine an annoying little kid, begging his parents every day for a drum set. That was me! After 2.5 years of relentless nagging, they finally caved and bought me a drum set from the classifieds section of the Spectator. Unfortunately, all the bands in my high school already had drummers, so after a year, I traded my drumsticks for a guitar and jumped headfirst into a punk band with my friends.

Weekends were a blur of shows in Hamilton and Toronto, guided by MapQuest printouts to navigate the cities. When it was time to apply for post-secondary education, I made the last-minute decision to study jazz at Mohawk College. That's when my teaching practice began. I started teaching at local music studios while still in school. I also did a brief stint in science at McMaster University, where I was one of the founding members of the Music Cognition Lab & spent most of my time practicing for my elective: playing with the McMaster Jazz Big Band.

Later, I took my talents to cruise ships, where I played drums with incredible musicians from around the world. This experience allowed me to tick off over 17 countries from my travel list while sight-reading shows seven days a week. In 2014, I returned to Hamilton, initially planning to move to New York City or LA. But after seeing the world, I realized how much Hamilton had to offer and decided to stay. Since then, I've been firmly rooted here, dedicating my time to creating resources for my students, learning new music for performances, and creating my original works.

Testimonials

Solid and effective teacher with strong knowledge of all things music. Can balance theory, fundamentals and, of course, the fun stuff in a single session, delivering balanced lessons every time. On top of that he’s friendly, personable and adapts his teaching to what the student needs. Glenn is the guy when you want to learn guitar or drums!

Mark, Student

Glenn has instructed all 4 of my sons in either guitar or drums, and they always finish their lessons with genuine interest and desire to learn more! He is an excellent teacher, and his use of 'current' music keeps my boys excited for what is coming next. He is very flexible and accommodating. We feel so lucky to have crossed paths with Glenn!

Sherrie, Parent

I've had the pleasure of working with Glenn for many years in different settings. He's well versed in many styles of music, does his homework (learns songs), arrives on time, dresses the part and is just a great musician to play with.

Dan, Musician

Glenn was the best. Our kids (all of them) had Glenn as an instructor for years before their lives got busier with school, work and life in general. I'm not going to speak to his skill as an actual instructor (oddly enough) because the best thing about Glenn is his pure passion for music & teaching and his enthusiasm for you to learn music. Sometimes when I overheard my child learn a new chord or pattern on the drums, I was convinced he was more excited about it than my child. There are a lot of people who can teach music as a job, but there are very few who inject such joy into it.

Mark Cheers, Parent

I hosted a Swing Dance for my church and Glenn brought with him a talented group of musicians who played their hearts out all night long. Some of us danced and everyone enjoyed listening to the great selection of songs. The band was punctual, professional, friendly and made the event a huge success. Thanks Glenn for sharing your talents with us.

Leeyan, Event Organizer

Glenn is an incredible music teacher who has been teaching my son for the last several months. The lesson is virtual (we live in Vancouver) and I've been impressed on how Glenn so easily engages with my 10-year-old, pushing him, encouraging him and also keeping him on track in a fun way, which many kids need at this age. After the first lesson with Glenn, my son was hooked and has been practicing so that he can continue working with this talented man. As someone who has taught children myself, I have respect for the way Glenn shares his passion, skills and knowledge in a way that makes learning fun for kids!
