Registration has already begun for the 2011 sessions and, for a limited time, there are early bird registration offers where participants can save on tuition and be entered into draws to win prizes such as guitars, amplifiers, cymbals, and more. Both Toronto sessions will once again be held at Appleby College in Oakville just west of Toronto with the Vancouver session taking place at Quest University, which is located just north of Vancouver in Squamish, BC. Designed for aspiring musicians of all ages and levels, the program covers multiple styles, courses, and levels, and offers students a unique setting for intense musical and personal growth. The workshop also allows for group development (entire bands will sometimes attend) and has hosted families.
