Musician and educator Glen Alan has been actively involved in the Toronto music and recording scene for more that 20 years. As a voice, piano, ukulele, guitar, songwriting and theory teacher Glen has helped thousands of individuals from children to adults sing, play and write songs more effectively. Over the years Glen has produced and led various seminars and master classes on songwriting, music theory, voice, microphone technique, music business and studio recording for clients of Mint Music (formerly Find A Way) – a music company Glen Alan founded in 1996.
Glen began playing the piano when he was 7 years old and after that learned the ukulele and played acoustic bass in his father’s school ukulele band when he was a young teenager. Glen’s father who was an accomplished organist and choir director had Glen sing in church choirs from an early age until his early 20’s. Later, Glen double majored in voice and alto saxophone in high school and was the bass singer and also helped manage and run the critically acclaimed No Nonsense a ca****la Quartet. Later, Glen taught himself to play guitar when he attended Humber College in 1993. Glen began his first formal guitar lessons in 1996 and quickly began composing and performing with the guitar in the years that followed.
Since founding Mint Music and the Toronto Guitar School Glen has taught many private lessons and group classes in guitar and ukulele. Glen brings a wealth of over 20 years teaching experience, passion and fun to every class he teaches.

Welcome back to In Person Learning! We are so excited to have everyone back to enjoy making music together! We will be temperature checking and asking to see proof of vaccination before you will be allowed to enter the school. We will also be requiring you to fill out a short form so we can update our files when you arrive. In addition, since you were last at the school there has been some significant construction that has begun on the bottom of Bond St. near Dundas, as a result there is no entrance to vehicular traffic available from the south from Bond Street. Alternatively, you can access Bond St. by entering from Church St. to an unnamed laneway immediately North of Dundas and turning westward towards Bond. From there you will be able to continue on and access the street that the school is located on. Provided below is a map showing this in detail. If you have any questions please email administration and we can send you a map and directions to make things easy. When arriving by car please call the school and we will direct you as to where to park at the music school. Please drive with caution as roads are snowy and slippery or better yet take the TTC, walk or bike to school and leave your car at home. :o) You will recieve an environmental rebate if you do. #toronto #COVID19 #musiclessons #mintmusic #winter2022 #InPersonMusicLessons #guitar
