Winkler Music Academy

Hello, welcome to my Facebook page. My name is Rod Wolfe and I am a professional guitarist / educator. I instruct students year round (including Summer). My students ages range from 6 years old and up, from beginner to advanced. I am specialized in teaching students how to understand their instrument as well as how to perform with it. I teach in a studio recording environment which helps aid each students learning abilities! Thanks for visiting. I encourage you to enroll and unlock your full musical potential! Rod puts your money where his mouth is. You get a 100% money back guarantee if after one lesson block you feel that you have not learnt anything new! There is absolutely zero risk to you. HOW DO I ENROLL? IT’S EASY ! Call me at (204) 331-3722. If I am not teaching at the time of your call I will answer. However, due to my busy schedule of teaching you may have to leave a message. Please leave your message and as soon as I can I will return your call. You can also send me a Facebook message with all your details. Be sure to include your phone number so that I can call you directly ! CAN ANYONE LEARN? Yes. Everyone has the ability to develop the skills to be able to play the guitar. My knowledge uncovers all the methods you need to learn to develop and tap into those skills. I have been teaching private guitar lessons for well over 20 years. My experience will enable you to “LEARN IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME”. CAN YOU TEACH MY CHILD? YES. Children as young as 6 years old can enroll. I teach children how to have fun with music. Teaching children how to play the guitar is my greatest inspiration. Each child is so unique. Having fun, laughing and at the same time learning is what makes their experience a pleasure. AM I TO OLD TO LEARN? No. You can never be to old to learn. You really can begin to learn how to play guitar at any age. It is a complete myth to believe that learning guitar is only for the young. The truth is that if you have a desire to learn then you can learn. Don’t put off your desire to learn just because you may be older. I will teach you how to play songs in no time at all ! HOW LONG ARE LESSONS? The standard lesson is 30 minutes. These are private one-on-one sessions once each week with me in my teaching/production/recording studio. These are not group classes. The student will receive a focused one-on-one lesson with no interruptions. This ensures that the student will continue learning and improving each week ! IS THIS EXPENSIVE? Absolutely not. With today’s economy forcing the cost of everything to increase I have vowed not to pass on those increasing costs to any of my enrolling students. Call the studio directly for current lesson fee’s: (204-331-3722) WHAT MAKES YOU QUALIFIED? I have been playing for what feels like forever and I love it. I have had some of the greatest opportunities to learn for some of the worlds best musicians. I grew up learning from Chet Breau (son of Canada’s jazz guitar genius Lenny Breau). I have attended studies at the Los Angeles Music Academy as well as the world known Musicians Institute also located in Los Angeles. While there studied with many of L.A’s top players. My love for jazz took me to New York where I learned from jazz masters Tal Farlow, Steven Rochinski, Adam Rafferty. Being a full time musician I still continue to pursue very serious musical studies with world class players. I think being a student of music is one of the greatest experience any player can experience! WHY SHOULD You TRUST Me? IT’S SIMPLE. My heart is all about the education of music. My entire life has been spent working on developing the best methods of teaching that any student could experience. The musical mentors that I have learned from have instilled in me solid musical ethics. I literally would not be able to live with myself if I wasn’t putting my heart and passion into your musical educational growth. I will teach you the truth behind the music. No gimmicks. Nothing fake. I have built up a long list of referrals. Students and parents that are willing to tell you all about the quality of my teaching methods. Upon request I will provide you with contact numbers which you can call and hear it for yourself ! If you believe that music is inside of you and you want to express yourself with the guitar as your instrument of choice then you have reached the first step in becoming a guitar player, which is having desire.
