Born in Vancouver, Nebyu Yohannes began playing guitar and drums in church, eventually moving to the trombone in the seventh grade and pursuing through to post-secondary where he moved to Toronto to complete his Bachelor of Music at Humber College.
From being exposed to Motown, rock, and traditional Ethiopian music as a young boy, to discovering jazz, R&B, and classical in his college years, Nebyu has digested a diverse artistic palette from which to draw. In June of 2016, he released his first project entitled Nebyu Yohannes EP, a work dedicated to three original contemporary jazz compositions. In 2017 he released an original chamber piece Heaven on Earth, and two indie-r&b songs, "Danger" and “All These Years" in 2019, revealing his abilities as a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. In April of 2021, Nebyu released "Silhouette of Yesteryear," a 3-track EP diving into his most vulnerable moments of 2020. He has recorded with various artists such as Sean Jones, Glutenhead, Rahael, Shakura S'Aida, and performed alongside many great Canadian and international musicians including Take 6, Michael McDonald, Martha Reeves, Narcy, and Vox Sambou.
Nebyu believes in a personalized teaching approach with a focus on fundamentals, helping students to become well-rounded musicians while still enjoying the music they're playing. Nebyu's rate is $32 per half hour lesson.

Our Early Music Education Program, Young Music Explorers incorporates the method of music instruction for young children developed by Carl Orff, a German composer and educator.
The spontaneous rhythms children create in their rhymes, chants, and games provide a natural starting point for music development. The progressive development of musical skill, creativity, and aesthetic awareness is achieved through work with the elements of music contained in speech patterns, poetry, song, and movement. A heightened awareness of rhythm and melody is developed through playing recorders, and a wide range of percussion instruments, some with and some without the pitch.
Our Early Music Education Program develops musicality in a natural and joyful environment, and it provides excellent preparation for other instrumental programs offered at Long & McQuade Education Centre. Through classes children are encouraged to explore and develop the following musical skills:
singing, listening, aural, visual and physical recognition of pitch, playing pitched and unpitched instruments, awareness of and ability to play and sing to a beat, working musically with others and independently, creation and exploration of their own musical ideas, and learning through songs, games, and physical movement.
