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!
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.
Glenn is a skilled musician and a great teacher.
Glenn is a pro. He does his homework, he's quick to respond to any messages, he has a solid groove, he can play to a click, he's willing to put the extra time in to polish a project...I could go on. It's hard to find people who have a good business sense, are GREAT players, and are fun to hang out with. Glenn definitely has all three and it's a pleasure to work with him.
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!
Glenn is a patient and competent teacher. He was able to engage my 7-year-old and get him excited about lessons and music. He customized the music to my son's interest. Would highly recommend!!!
