CON BRIO MUSIC

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 more than 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 accomplished colleagues.

 

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

 

Since moving to Stratford in September 2021, I teach from my home studio when possible and also work part-time for a faith-based non-profit organization. Making time for accompanying, playing the piano for worship at church, and being with family and friends is important to me.

​

The transition to Zoom and other platforms for virtual lessons has been 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.

Again, this coming year may look different than past years, as we adjust, adapt, and continue to be flexible with change due to Covid-19.

It was amazing to see the progress of the students through the early months of the pandemic. 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.
