Our Music Philosophy

Founded in 2017, NDG Music School has roots that stretch back to Jon’s first “Live From The Garage” show in 2006. Since then, over 500 students have shared in this musical journey, helping our school to grow and thrive. Today, our team includes many alumni from both Live From The Garage and NDG Music School.

We welcome students of all ages and skill levels, focusing on bringing people together through music. In our group music lessons, students pursue their passions and choose their own songs. For those in private lessons, we offer personalized curriculums and expert guidance tailored to each individual’s needs.

More About Josh

Josh Campos

Guitar, Drums
Josh Campos is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter here in Montreal with nearly 20 years of experience. Josh currently plays drums in local art-rock band Last Waltzon and also records and releases music under his own name J.R. Campos. Josh studied jazz guitar performance at Vanier college as well as Music Composition at Concordia University and is very well versed in playing, writing, and recording many styles of music. “For me music has always been about finding different ways to express myself. I really love the idea that we are all truly capable of doing anything we want to do as long as we are willing to put in the time. I understand both that there are ways to “properly” approach things so that you might find a little less friction in the learning process, but also that there are absolutely no rules when it comes to playing music. If you enjoy it you will keep doing it, and if you keep doing it you will get better! That if anything sums up my approach as a teacher”. You can check out Josh’s musical projects here:
