Jason is very good at reading what my son's music interest is. He's only been learning for 6 weeks and is playing a few songs with confidence. He loves it! Thanks Jason, you are a wonderful teacher.
Kristie Jack-Rodgers, 2024

Took lessons for several different instruments with Jason and loved the freedom and patience he brought to every lesson. Jason won’t let you do anything less than what you dream of doing and won’t let you give up on your goal.
Sydney VanCamp, 2019

????? Jason is an exceptional guitar teacher! He is incredibly patient and flexible with his teaching style, ensuring that my daughter fully understands each lesson. His dedication and passion for music shine through in every session. We couldn't be happier with the progress she's made under his guidance. Highly recommend!

Jason offers a relaxed and comfortable learning space that is perfect for both aspiring and established musicians. He is a patient and talented teacher.
Nicki Abrams-VanCamp, 2019

This guy knows his stuff. He’s a gifted musician and can play many instruments very well. He has taught my children for years and I highly recommend him to friends whenever I can. He makes learning fun and has the ability to explain things in simple terms that young and old can grasp and put into practice.
Melanie Beckwith, 2019

Jason is an extremely knowledgeable and talented musician. As well as being a really great person, he is a very patient, positive and encouraging teacher. I definitely recommend him for music lessons!
Pauline Finora Buitenhuis, 2019

My teenage son has been taking guitar lessons with Jason and he eagerly looks forward to every lesson. Jason encourages my son to play the music he wants and loves to play and is nurturing his love for music. He has made learning music theory fun and interesting and has given him practical opportunities to practice and play with others, by inviting him to join the church band. My son is now interested in learning to play other instruments with Jason's guidance and support.
Heather McKean Veltman, 2019

We're very happy with our sons' music lessons with Jason (Tomas on drums & Patrick on piano). I particularly like that he is teaching 2-handed piano with chords right off the bat. This is how I wish I'd learned.
Maggie Bailey, 2023

Jason’s unique music teaching style has been very successful in keeping our children interested week after week. Whether he is teaching drums or piano, he provides positive instruction with small achievable goals that builds their confidence. Highly recommend!
Katy Pyatt, 2024

Jason is a very talented musician. I took vocal instruction from him. He assisted me in attaining more control and stronger projection. Jason also taught my son vocals and how to accompany himself on the piano.
Jason is an enthusiastic, understanding music professional with a knack for teaching.
Melissa Pellam Coy, 2019

Jason is a multi-talented musician with a teaching approach to make any individual successful with their musical goals. We would highly recommend Jason!
Marnie and Don Hunt, 2023

"What song do you want to learn to play now?" is something Jason said a lot over the course of my guitar lessons with him, and really sets him apart from other teachers I had. Before Jason, my previous attempts at learning instruments were bogged down with theory, having to learn "classic" songs that didn't interest me, and always ended with me losing interest. Jason let me pick the songs I wanted to learn and then would teach me the required chords and techniques as they came up. This way nothing felt forced and I was always working towards something I was actually interested in. Today, I have the ability to teach myself any song I want thanks to him. He's very talented and a great teacher!
McCulla Grant, 2019

Jason has taught our son the past couple of years. In Luke's own words, Mr Silver is "nice, patient, and teaches me songs I really like!"
Jeff Peck, 2023

I highly recommend Music Lessons from Jason. He has been a knowledgeable patient instructor who facilitates a relaxed encouraging atmosphere.
Jennifer Hamilton, 2020

Jason taught my son to play guitar. My son is a lefty and Jason had no problems working with him! He is very encouraging to his students. I would recommend Jason to anyone needing music lessons!
Sarah Robidoux, 2025

Jason has been teaching our daughters for over a year now. He is patient, kind and he works hard to encourage their love of music, celebrates their successes and challenges them just the right amount. The growth they've shown in the time we've been with him is amazing!
Valerie Hopkins, 2023

Jason is a very knowledgeable and patient music teacher. Our daughter has been taking piano lessons from him for the last three years. With his wealth of knowledge of music and teaching, he adapts to each child's learning creating different ways for them to learn. She feels very comfortable in his music space. Thank you Jason, for all your hard work.
Laura & Kurtis Green, 2025

We decided to start taking guitar lessons with Jason after we met him at church. We instantly bonded with his personality and passion for music. We did weekly lessons with Jason and he taught us so much. His teaching approach is quite flexible - since we already had a musical background, he’d ask us what we wanted to focus on and let us lead the lessons in a way that worked for us. Jason is patient and kind and makes learning fun! We would highly recommend him to anyone considering taking music lessons.
Michael & Leah McKitrick , 2024

As a handicapped person in my 60's just starting out learning guitar, I have appreciated Jason's patience and expert knowledge. I started out with absolutely no understanding of music. In each area where I was struggling (eg. rhythm, strumming, scales, reading music notation) Jason patiently helped me move forward at my own pace and in my areas of interest and music style. (I absolutely loved learning about the CAGED system! ????)
Barry Heyman, 2025

I took guitar lessons with Jason for about a year and a bit, I learned way more then I would have with any music school. You get to pick the music you want to play which helps encourages practising. I also started piano and singing before I went away for school, you choose your pace, songs and times that work for you. Definitely recommend!!
Kathleen Furber, 2019

“I liked that Jason let me learn any song I wanted. He was very patient and very talented. The lessons were interesting and helped me enjoy playing the piano. I really looked forward to my lessons with him. They were fun and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Jason as a music teacher.”
Connor Feakins age 10 , 2024

Jason has been teaching my 7yr daughter piano for two years. I am continuously impressed with how he involves her in the learning process, getting her to ‘buy in’ and not just teacher at her. He makes piano fun! She looks forward to lesson time.
Louise Scott, 2023

Jason is the embodiment of an exceptional educator. His passion for teaching is evident in every lesson, and his love for music truly shines through. He is patient, kind, and instills these same qualities in the children he teaches. My son, Grayson, has been working with Jason for a few months, and the progress he has made is remarkable. As Grayson learns the drums, Jason not only teaches the fundamentals of reading sheet music but also brings a well-rounded and polished approach to his instruction. He incorporates contemporary music—such as Daft Punk, Dua Lipa, and Post Malone—which Grayson loves. This has fuelled his enthusiasm for practising at home and has made him even more excited to learn.
Lindsey Morey, 2025

Jason is an excellent music teacher who is very patient! Our son, who is seven, is currently taking piano lessons and he is making great strides! After each lesson, he is excited to come home and practice what he learned. Jason's teaching method is engaging and motivating! Thank you Jason!
Aiste Mickute, 2025

Both my kids have taken lessons from Jason. He has a unique approach to teaching that I think appeals to a lot of kids. Jason is also a multi-talented musician himself. He even has his own studio so students can record their music. I highly recommend him.
Karen Pothier, 2019

My brothers and I all took lessons from Jason. He somehow managed to find the time within our sessions to teach not one, not two, but three different instruments at the same time, and was able to teach us in a way that we can and do all play together to this day. To top it off, we were all able to take what he taught us and apply it to instruments we wanted to try outside of lessons. He has a very patient demeanor about him, but also pushes his students to try new things!
10/10
Would take lessons from again ?
Jadon Clow, 2019

Jason has been a wonderfully patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging voice coach. He has helped me a lot.
Ross Sutherland, 2019

I think Jason is a very good teacher, he is very thorough in what he does and he wants to see you succeed. He is very skilled in multible different instruments as well as being really good with people.
Rhone Gambrel, 2025

My son took lessons from Jason when he was young. I was very impressed with what Jason got from him in a short time when my son was reluctant to practice. Of all the music he has learned, his time with Jason was the most beneficial and confidence-boosting.
Sharon Blackwell, 2019

Jason is a very natural person to be around who allows you to be comfortable. He has years of experience teaching a multitude of instruments. He is very flexible in his approach to teaching and is able to meet and work with any learning style that serves the individual. He makes it fun and light with goals in mind that help motivate learning and moving forward. My son can't wait until he practices with him every week! Thanks Jason!
Lucie Svatek, 2023

Jason was wonderful with my son- he made piano fun and taught songs that really made it enjoyable for a 7 year old boy! - from the hockey night in canada theme song to happy birthday and the imperial death March- he made learning cool and fun and tailored to his interests - I wish I would have had Jason as a teacher when I was younger:)
Dawn Woodland, 2019

Jason is a fantastic, talented hidden gem in the village of Sydenham. He is gifted with a talent in music and easily shares it with the ones he teaches. When teaching my kids he displays flexibilty, patience and kindness. His abilty to follow their lead helps keep them motivated and excited to continue learning. We consider oursleves lucky to have him teach our kids!
Nicole de Melo, 2020

My son is taking lessons with Jason and he really likes his method of teaching. He specifically enjoys learning to play actual songs as a way to learn notes. This method keeps him engaged. As a parent I am pleased with his patience, kindness, and talent.
Carla Michaud, 2019

Jason is a wonderful multi instrumentalist and a creative talent. He has well developed teaching skills and loads of patience- very highly recommended!
Michael Goodspeed, 2019

Jason is a very skilled musician, and a thoughtful, helpful, and patient teacher. Lessons with Jason will focus on what you want to learn, and use that as a framework to improve your overall musical ability.
Rob Stewart, 2019

I took many piano lessons from Jason. Lessons were always fun and tailored personally to which aspects of my musicianship I want to develop. I learned many skills to improve my piano playing and had a noticeable improvement every lesson.
Oliver Pontbriand, 2019

Jason is not only an amazing and talented musician, but he is a very caring and passionate teacher. Not only did both of my boys take lessons, but I took lessons aswell with him. (bass, guitar and drums) I highly recommend Jason if you are looking into lessons. Jason is the best hands down especially with his approach of teaching. If I could give you a 10 I would lol
Jenn Bauder, 2019

Jason is an excellent teacher - very patient and a great communicator. All three of our boys enjoy learning from him and are building great musical skills.
Ryan Jeffrey, 2024

My daughter has been taking lessons with Jason for a year now and I would highly recommend him to anyone young or old. Jason is kind, patient, a great teacher and a great human!
