The London Conservatory of Contemporary Music

I studied with Karl for 2 yrs and he was very patient with me! We learned several drum patterns while i was there. He made it fun and it was never boring! Karl has a lot of knowledge on playing drums. You can ask him anything about the drum kit and he'll help you! But most of all Karl is very kind and i feel like i made a new friend ! thank you

I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Graehme and I really appreciate his approach. He is a very compassionate person, which shows in his teaching, as well as an incredibly talented player. He makes a real effort to get to know you, your relationship to the instrument, to music, to who you are, and in combination with understanding your goals/hopes, guides you on a very personalized pathway. I’ve had many AHA! moments and have seen noticeable improvements in my playing and my knowledge.I really look forward to developing my relationship and understanding of music further under Graehme’s tutelage. I consider him a friend! Thank you so much Graehme!!

In our home, we play a number of instruments including bagpipes, violin, harp, and flute. Karl and his team have always been an amazing resource for us. Whether we're looking for lessons, parts, or services, they have always been quick, reasonable, and knowledgable. Their passion for music vibrantly comes through their friendly service. As a women, it is important to me that I feel safe, heard, and treated with respect. Karl and his team create a space that is safe to learn, regardless of your experience. I have come to rely on their recommendations and trust them with my instruments.

I have been playing guitar with Graehme Floyd for almost 3 years now and I can safely say he has been my favourite teacher in all my years of education, not just in music. I have had the privilege to meet all the teachers at the school, Graehme, Tyce and Carl... They all want the best for their students and will do anything to accomodate for their needs.Don't want to play classical? No problem. Want to learn everything about theory? Easy, let's start here! Having trouble with rythym? Don't worry here are some exercises that will get you started.If you are unsure on where you wanna go with music, they have an effective system with levels of different colours to increase students knowledge on their instrument of choice - or voice!Since I've worked with Graehme the most, he has truly made music a world where I don't feel pressure to be perfect, but to enjoy what I am learning and what I'm playing. I hope to learn guitar with LCCM for many years to come. I thank you all for making me feel like part of the family.I recommend this school to ANYONE looking to start music in any way shape or form :D

Overall, I had an excellent experience with LCCM. Both the instruction and the instructors are first class. I highly recommend anyone - young or old, beginner to experienced - to seek out the team at LCCM if they want to learn how to play an instrument (in my case guitar) or simply fine tune" their skills. It is never too late to start learning how to play a musical instrument."

My name is Renard Marion. I have been taking guitar classes for almost 10 yrs. I started when I was 73 yrs old and was privileged to have Graehme Floyd as my teacher. His knowledge is impressive and the fact that he truly cares for all his students is admirable.Choosing the London Conservatory of Contemporary Music is the best decision I ever made. I do not hesitate for one moment to strongly recommend them.Renald

After drumming for 30 years, I met Karl and he straightened my bad habits and got me drumming better than I have ever experienced. I can go on and on about what he has done for me, things that make total sense. But to put it in a nutshell and show to you, he has both the theory and practical practises well laid out to build a solid drummer. I love this guy and has become one of my life’s greatest influences. I travel 2 1/2 hours for his lessons and it is worth every kilometre spent on the highway to rock and roll.

I'm a classical pianist and I wanted to learn how to play the drums. I've been in many music schools during my studies but LCCM is unlike any I have ever seen. The school resonates with musical passion: the halls are lined with rock music paraphernalia and each music room is equipped with amazing equipment (I have the pleasure of playing on a $15,000 electronic drum kit in my lesson room). The teachers are also experts in their craft. My drum teacher, Karl, is the inventor of an innovative way of playing the drums called the Coordination Code". Ask for it to be taught to you if you are learning the drums! It allowed me to play complicated patterns in a fraction of the time. I'm also going to start guitar lessons with LCCM soon! I highly recommend this school."

LCCM is the best. Top notch musicians, skilled teachers, honorable mentors. I have a daughter (vocal, musical theater) and a son (guitar) that have taken lessons here and I simply can’t compliment the school enough. LCCM guidance and support has been positive, dedicated, challenging and enriching. My son and daughter are life long musicians as a result.

Quality lessons from quality musicians. I taught guitar lessons with them for many many years and I can say with confidence that they always strive to give their students what they're looking for. Not everyone has aspirations of playing like Joe Satriani or Mike Portnoy. Some students, young and old, just want to get their skills to a point where they can play along with friends or casually around a camp fire. What ever musical goals you have for yourself, they will find a way to help you get there.
