Teaching Style: rock
Teaching Day(s): Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday
John Larsson is a singer and multi- instrumentalist who's performed in several acts across United States and Canada. He has completed programs in Music Theory at the University of Manitoba, and Luthiery (string instrument design/repair) in Phoenix, AZ. John is also well versed in the areas of MIDI, lighting and sound, and various music software. Though he continues to be blessed with a great musical career, now spanning 3 decades, discovering teaching in the early 2000's has to be one of his highlights.
Through his varied teaching experience, John has had the opportunity to develop and implement rock band programs and concerts, including instructing and grooming the bands for performance, stage set up, lighting, and sound. John is thrilled to be teaching at Long and McQuade and looks forward to bringing his fun and motivating style to his lessons.
John teaches at our Winnipeg Henderson location. His rate is $30 per half hour.

Do you have an interest in jazz? Perhaps in music school and a career in music? This class is for you! We'll explore many different facets around the idea of playing in a jazz small group, based loosely around what you might experience in a university setting. We'll learn standards (forms, soloing, etc), deconstruct and write new tunes (composition), and explore the business side of music (booking gigs, recording, etc). Open instrumentation (e.g. piano/guitar, bass, drums + horns, not limited to that).
Rehearsals will be Friday from 6-7pm.
Limited spots are available!
Ages 13-18
