Teachers performing at the After Hours Open Jam at Resonate in Edmonton

The People Here

The teachers at Resonate are examples of a life with music at the centre of it. They perform, write, record, and play out around Edmonton, with teaching as one part of that larger practice. What students learn here comes from people still doing the thing, not just describing it.

Front of House

The people who keep a week at Resonate holding together, so lessons start on time, teachers can focus on teaching, and students can focus on music.

School Manager

Kara

Kara moved into managing the school after teaching here, so she knows how a lesson week actually feels from the inside. She looks after scheduling, staffing, and the details that keep the place running.

Zoe at Resonate
Front of House Coordinator

Zoe

Zoe is often the first person students and families meet at Resonate. She looks after the front desk, so arriving for a lesson is simple and everyone knows where they are going.

Locally owned since 2012

Michael

Resonate started in 2012. The conviction behind it was simple: learning music should feel as alive as making music. Most of what’s here grew out of paying attention to what students, teachers, and families actually needed over the years. The fuller version of that thinking lives on the Our approach page.
