“It’s such a break from my day-to-day work and it cleanses my mind and sets me on my way to , you know get back to work and solve other problems so I look forward to it every week.”

Bryan Belyk

“Finding a teacher and a school that will inspire you and encourage you in every aspect of your musical journey, is a magical discovery. Not only do I leave every lesson with a greater understanding of the instrument, practical theory, musicality and methods, I leave with a greater enthusiasm and love for my own unique journey.”

Sasha Gibson

“Horizon are beyond remarkable – it’s conveniently located, bright and welcoming whether for a private lesson or group workshop. The atmosphere is relaxed and encouraging while directed and effective. I can’t believe what I am able to do today that was impossible a few months ago!”

George Shindler

“Horizon has to be Vancouver’s best for musical instruction, hands down. What I love most about Horizon is that there’s no pressure to perform or achieve beyond what I want for myself as a musician – just complete flexibility to explore as many styles as I want and to learn what I want, when I want, even if it’s different from what I wanted to learn last week.”

Warren K.

“Great teachers are very rare. If you have a musical goal, do yourself a favour and check out Horizon School of Music.”

Joe Tromm

“6 months ago I could barely play basic chords on an acoustic after struggling to follow online tutorials. Not only did Kelly guide me towards finding the right instrument and sound for me (classical fingerstyle), he has me playing pieces I couldn’t imagine I’d be playing in this short of a time frame.”

James Gill

“The co-teaching with Eli on the monthly Metal Consortium has got to be the best metal group class ever to happen. I will close by saying I used to hate Mondays. I have my lessons on Mondays… it’s now my favourite day of the week.”

Aaron Friesan

“I’d highly recommend Horizon School of Music to anyone who wants to be part of a real music community that cares about your journey and learning.”

Todd Mumford

“I have the great fortune of being taught by Kris.. and catapulted me into a whole new level with no limit in sight! I have taken lessons from other teachers there as well and they are all phenomenal.”

John Buchanan

“Our kids are hard to please- but the style and attitude of the group is so unique and engaging that our kids ask to go back. It’s a pleasure to watch them enjoy music and have fun with it while they learn. We highly recommend this school.”
