Caylie first fell in love with music in kindergarten and has been singing, playing, writing and recording ever since. She started as a flute player but found that she enjoyed piano, guitar and ukulele much better because they’re much easier to sing along with. Her passion for music has driven her through extensive training in a variety of fields and musical genres.

Caylie is finishing at MacEwan University with a major in Recording and Production. When she isn’t teaching she’s in the studio, at a rehearsal or performing as a solo artist or with her band, Waffelhouse.

Caylie teaches voice, piano, guitar, ukulele and songwriting. Over the course of her lessons she also touches on theory and ear training. Her favourite part about teaching is watching her students fall in love with music the same way she did!

Mark fell in love with guitar in junior high and never looked back. Originally a piano and trumpet player, he never felt at home in music until he began studying famous guitar players like BB King, Wes Montgomery and John Mayer. He has just finished his Performance Diploma at MacEwan University, and is currently working on a second diploma in recording, also at MacEwan.

Mark has a passion for making people feel the same joy he feels when he plays the guitar. He teaches music by teaching songs and exploring music theory, ear training and playing techniques along the way. His focus is on helping his students reach their musical goals, whatever they may be.

Mark is proud to offer guitar lessons at any level in your home through Classic Studios!
