Students can expect to learn healthy singing that can be applied to any genre.

I've taught here for 1.5 years. I've taught at many studios in Calgary and this is the only one I will teach at in town. Bryan and his teachers are all really nice, understanding, accommodating, and put people first (in front of business). This attitude is a gem and makes for a pleasant human experience. The studio may not look like much from the outside but inside reveals a beautiful, spacious seating area (other studios tend to cram every foot with merchandise) with a big TV. Bryan, the owner, himself is a musician and teacher and understands the ins and outs of being a student and teacher. The business is run with thought, care, and ethics. I wish Leroux Studios all the best!

Beautiful space, extremely talented and accommodating staff, a wonderful place for kids to learn to play a wide variety of instruments!!

A great range of talented and personable instructors and lovely people to work with. My daughter has been having lessons there for a while and just started learning a second instrument because she enjoys it so much. Their prices are also very reasonable. Strongly recommend!

Bryan is a wonderful and attentive teacher, and has curated a team of like-minded instructors. You can tell that he has really put his heart and soul into his business, and that teaching music is truly his passion. I would recommend music lessons here to anyone.

I have had lessons at a number of studios in Calgary over the years and Leroux Music Studios is by far the best studio I have ever attended - a real gem - Owner Bryan is a talented musician and music teacher - a very pleasant, patient man with a passion for music teaching. I also love that Leroux Music Studios truly welcomes all ages and offers lessons in many musical disciplines. Leroux Music Studios is my absolute "go-to" studio in Calgary.

In January I will be entering into my third year of music lessons at Leroux Music Studios and can't say enough positive things about what the experience has been for me. I have always loved music, find it to be very therapeutic. I started out with voice and nine months later decided to take piano as well. The management and staff at Leroux Music Studios go the extra step to make sure the needs of the students are being met. I would highly recommend any one, any age to come out for a trial lesson, discover the music in you!!

The team at Leroux are very talented musicians. They are passionate about their music and their students. It's been a great experience, as a mature student, to learn to love and appreciate music. "Practise makes Awesome " :) It's a fun night out!

My 2 boys are taking guitar lessons at Leroux Music and they love it. Lessons with Mel are fun and Brian is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Amazing place, I highly recommend it.

My daughter takes 3 different instruments and loves all of her instructors. They're all listed in her success they all encourage her in a positive healthy way to burn music and love and appreciate it.

My children have been going to the school for the past 4 years. Couldn't ask for better teachers! They care about the kids and have successfully given them the skills and self confidence to succeed in music. Thanks guys!

Music WILL enrich your life, and what is cooler than playing guitar??? (I make learning tons of fun too!)


Fast forward... In over 22 years of teaching I've made it so my students have even more fun and actually learn 10x as much as I did as a kid!

I can barely imagine how much faster I would have progressed if I had a teacher like me...

My students become better musicians by exploring diverse styles like Rock, Blues, Spanish/Latin, African, Gypsy Jazz, and more...

...and they WILL learn to play with some of their favourite songs too!!

We have the technology!! Let's use it! Whether that's videos of me to play along to, or videos of my students playing awesome music (the BEST thing to share with friends and family!) They help students learn, be proud of themselves, and they will make amazing memories many years from now!

My students of all ages learn how to be creative. Improvising, jamming, playing along with recordings/videos, songwriting... such an amazing way to engage parts of the brain that we don't use enough in every day life.

This is all about my student's success, and I'm here to help! You get to deal directly with the teacher, all the time. If you need clarification, you can contact me during the week so you get the most of your music time!

(After a 7 year old's second lesson ever!) "He has already started asking when his next guitar lesson is...I joked with my husband that you have taken on "hero" status in our house..."

"Phill is hands down THE best music instructor. This is the 3rd instrument I am learning. My 8 and 10 year old children are also taking lessons from Phill as well (Grandma just started too!!). He always asks what songs we want to learn, tailors the lessons for our diverse music experience and is always very punctual and organized. His ability to write tab by ear is incredible. After 1.5 years of lessons, my 8 year old daughter was able to confidently play Metallica on the electric guitar for her grade 3 class. They are always excited to see Phill (and add to his growing collection of origami). We have never had any issues booking convenient timeslots for our semesters. Very professional, knowledgable and always friendly.

"This is a review for my 13 year old son who has taken guitar lessons with Phil for 2 years. Phil is an excellent guitar teacher. Joey has had other guitar teachers and found Phil was really good at providing ways for Joey to be able to actually play interesting music right away. Phil has amazing knowledge of possible music options and really got Joey playing recognizable music quickly. This was really motivating for Joey and he got into his lessons much more than his previous experiences. That being said, he still taught the basics and incorporated this into songs that Joey wanted to experiment with. Phil has a sincere passion for teaching guitar and obviously cares a great deal about his students progress. We would recommend his lessons to anyone we know."
