On-line lessons in Northern BC and in person lessons
Alban Classical is now offering online lessons at a great rate. At only only $30cad for a 30 minute lesson everyone can afford great instruction from professional performers and teacher. Call 250-563-4693 or email
As we are based in Northern BC so there will be opportunities to see the teacher in person. We have students from across Canada.
Our online students have made more progress than the in person students. I think in part because they never miss lessons and don't have any travel time so they can warm up at home before the lesson starts. Online students have played in concerts and all have passed their exams with good marks.

Our focus is on classical music in all its forms, from professional concerts to community music education. The vast majority of our concerts are free and all our concerts are free for children.
We are a BC registered non profit society. in 2011 after 25 years of service to the musical community we took the step of registering our society.
We perform across the North
We have toured most of the North from Hartley Bay BC to Old Crow in the Yukon doing community concerts and formal concerts.
We have created many new works unique to the North. We are the leading proponent of Canadian classical music in Prince George through performance and commissioning.
We produced the first full length classical music CD to come out of this area have played hundreds of school concerts with unique original programs and compositions (over 30 free shows for school district 57) and produce a variety of musical concerts.
We present fully professional chamber music music concerts of the highest quality using northern musicians. Without us none of these works many which require extensive rehearsal would ever be heard. In addition we program works based on their artistic merit rather than just on audience appeal. Art rather than entertainment. We have created many original musical works that celebrate the north.
100% of our local sponsors funding goes back into the community and 100% of all external funding goes to support and grow local arts and we provide an opportunity for local composers to have their works heard.
We perform in small groups of 2-5. . Our focus is on great repertoire, high quality performances and unique ideas.
We have performed many free school shows and concerts in care homes and actively run music programs for seniors and adults in Northern BC and have given over 200 free classes for Seniors in care.
Music enriches, sensitizes, creates empathy, gives comfort, stimulates the imagination, all things that are positive for our community.
