ABOUT ME

Hi! Music has always been an important part of my life, whether it was singing in children's choir, piano studies as a child, playing cello in string orchestra at school, teaching or continued learning as an adult.

I have been teaching piano and theory since 1995 and have submitted nearly 800 students for RCM Exams! I particularly enjoy teaching the Advanced Theory Levels and it is a privilege to work with the students of many local colleagues.

My favourite part of teaching music is variety – from working with young beginners to coaching University students, every day is different.

After many years of teaching a full daytime studio at a private school & group theory at The Beckett School, in 2014 I made the change to having a small studio at home and working part-time for a faith-based non-profit organization; while still making time for accompanying, playing at church and family.

The transition to Zoom and other platforms for virtual lessons has been a learning curve, but an opportunity to create excellent systems for future lessons! I currently have distance students enrolled from other parts of Ontario and Asia - opening new doors for music lessons to cross borders and new ways to provide excellence in piano and music theory lessons.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

2020-2021

This coming fall will look different than past years, as we all adjust, adapt, and continue to be flexible with change due to Covid-19.

It was amazing to see the progress of the students this spring. As other activities became impossible, my students all continued with the piano! Music is a gift in this season, lessons have not been canceled, making music and enjoying music has not been canceled, using music for stress relief is always an option & it is a pleasure to continue teaching during this crisis.

Piano and Music Theory are continuing and the love of music is not canceled!

Spots are open for in-person and distance students between 12-4 pm E.S.T.

Weekly lessons are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (with increased health & safety measures/expectations for in-person). Local students who do not feel comfortable with in-person lessons may continue on Zoom.
