Hello! I have over thirty years of experience as a professional musician and private teacher. Originally from Lac St-Jean, I taught myself the electric and classical guitar there. I then studied at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec in Montreal in classical guitar in the class of Jean Vallières. While continuing my studies, I began to have professional contracts at the age of 18. I thus evolve with different groups from the Montreal scene. Then I continued at the University of Montreal in Peter Mchutcheon’s class. With him I founded the University of Montreal Guitar Quartet. At the same time, I collaborate with singer Fred Fortin as well as with the MG3 (Montreal Guitar Trio). I then explored medieval music with the Red Dragon and members of the NEF. Subsequently, I became a solo guitarist for the godfather of Quebec rock, Michel Pagliaro. Which allowed me to perform on all the major stages in Quebec. I also collaborated with Éric Lapointe, André Fortin (Les Colocs), Régine Chassagne (Arcade Fire) and the French singer Jacques Higelin. In summary, I have always tried to remain open-minded and play all possible styles of music. Looking forward to playing with you!

⭐ "Fred est un excellent prof! Il sait adapter son cours aux besoins et souhaits de son élève, et ça toujours plaisant, drôle et motivant. Sa maîtrise et ses connaissances de la musique sont impressionnantes, c'est un puit de savoir dont on aurait tort de se priver. Je ne pourrais jamais changer de prof!"

In 2011, he placed third in the Ontario Music Festivals Association, and in 2012 he earned his RCM Level 10 Piano with first-class honours.

⭐ "Isaac has been the best companion I would have found in my piano and music journey. He's a teacher, mentor, guide and friend rolled into one, and he moves seamlessly from theory to practical tricks that actually work at the keyboard. His ear is incredibly sharp, catching things I'd never notice myself. Despite living across the pond ( I am based in the UK) it never feels like there's any distance at all. Absolutely Top Class !"

Our teacher Myrtle was friendly, professional and accommodating to our scheduling needs. It was nice not to have to deal with money at the end of class, especially for a 30 minute session, so she could efficiently move on to the next student."
