Introducing
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
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!
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!
Had Glenn and a friend play at our charity run 'Running For Rachael', and they were great! Independent and set up all their own equipment. Both were very kind guys and easy to work with. He even stayed late so could use his PA system to close off the event. Will definitely be calling him for next year’s event!
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.
As a music instructor, Glenn is attentive to student's needs and while encouraging theory and structure, he teaches the cool things that encourage them to learn and stay interested.
We started with Glenn over a year ago, just before the pandemic changed everything. So we only had a few in-person lessons for guitar before moving to virtual. My son had never touched a guitar in his life before then and now he can’t put it down, Glenn has been so inspiring for him. 4 months ago, we started my other son with drum lessons, all virtually with Glenn, and it’s been amazing! Glenn is very professional and always keeps my sons engaged. The virtual recitals are so great!
