1000 Islands Music specializes in the private instruction of Guitar, Drums, and Bass. Operated out of downtown Brockville Ontario, our mission statement is to bring skilled and quality teaching to students of all ages, in all musical styles while sparking a lifelong passion and pursuit for music. Students will learn how to play songs in many styles, read music, become skilled with “ear training”, learn many techniques and terms, and most importantly learn to effectively apply it to their playing and performing. Founded by owner, instructor and local mutli-instrumentalist Leo Diensthuber, 1000 Islands Music brings 10 years of teaching experience in both Ottawa and Brockville, as well as over 18 years of writing, recording, and touring experience to it's students. Leo has played both guitar, drums and bass in several known projects and is currently writing, recording, and playing live with progressive instrumental rock band “Divine Realm”.

Leo is endorsed by Ernie Ball Music Man Guitars, DR Strings (U2, Sting, Black Sabbath, Johnny Winter etc.) Rocktron Technology for Guitarists and Fractal Audio Systems (RUSH, Dream Theater, Steve Vai, Megadeth etc.). Along with many artist features, reviews and followers, Divine Realm's latest music videos were recently featured as Exclusive premieres on the website of massive worldwide magazine “Guitar World”.
