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.

After many years of attending theatre productions at the Festival, we moved 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.

2022-2023

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.

Piano and Music Theory are continuing and the love of music is never canceled!
