Gabe Guerra

Founder and guitar instructor

Gabe is the founder and owner of Whole Tone Music, with a teaching philosophy centred around consistency and becoming a complete musician. He believes that with constant effort, anyone can learn an instrument faster and easier than they thought possible. Gabe places a strong emphasis on thoroughly getting to know your instrument, which includes learning about music theory, ear training, improvisation, and songwriting.

For the past 8 years, Gabe has been dedicated to music instruction, earning multiple awards for his innovative and effective teaching methods. He holds both a music and business degree from the University of Waterloo, blending his artistic and entrepreneurial skills to create a thriving music school.

Gabe is not just a teacher but also an active musician, playing in three bands: Red Carpet Revival (a punk rock band), Conexion Latina (a Latin band), and Cami and Gabe (an acoustic duo). His diverse musical experiences enrich his teaching, offering students a well-rounded perspective on various music styles.

Together with his wife Ruth, who is also voice teacher at Whole Tone, Gabe has also founded Whole Tone Events, a company providing music for weddings and events. Gabe’s passion for teaching is matched by his enthusiasm for performing and creating memorable musical experiences for all.

Gabe is currently fully booked for private weekly lessons, but is offering single coaching sessions for anyone looking to work on a specific goal.
