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 excellent teacher. My son looks forward to his lesson each week and is inspired by Glenn's talent. His teaching style is focused but fun!
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!
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.
I strongly recommend Glenn as a music teacher. I've been taking drum lessons from Glenn for a couple of months and really could not be more impressed with every aspect his teaching and approach. Glenn has a real knack for building lessons which very effectively improve playing and technique while simultaneously being a lot of fun. I've seen a pronounced improvement in my playing and look forward to our lessons every week. Additionally, Glenn is also both incredibly friendly and extremely professional. Also, Glenn is one absolutely amazing drummer!
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.
