Whether it's the melody in my mind during daily routines, harmonizing with fellow musicians, or standing under the spotlight for a professional performance, music has etched its presence into every corner of my existence. This connection isn't unique to me; it's a universal experience, intrinsic to being human. In my teaching, I strive to rekindle this awareness in my students, reminding them of music's fundamental role in our lives.
Moreover, I hold the belief that a music education offers more than just melodies and harmonies. It presents a holistic approach to learning, enhancing academic abilities and physical prowess akin to that of an athlete. It's about fostering discipline, creativity, and emotional expression. Whether a student envisions a career in music or simply seeks to enrich their life with harmonious experiences, my commitment lies in nurturing their journey as a whole person and artist.
Above all, my priority is kindling a passion for music that ignites from within. I prioritize students' affinity for the music they play, nurturing a sense of joy in their musical endeavors. While technical mastery is pivotal, I also emphasize a comprehensive grasp of music's many dimensions and a thirst for lifelong learning. In my studio, the foundation rests upon mutual respect, inclusivity, self-compassion, and a shared love for music that binds us all.
I hold an Honours, BMus from Wilfrid Laurier University, where I studied Voice Performance with James McLean. I am now continuing my studies at Laurier with Leslie Fagan, in the Opera Diploma program. In addition to my vocal studies, I studied violin and piano from the ages of 6 to 18, and I hold certificates in RCM Level 10 violin, and RCM Level 8 piano. My teacher, Therese Motard, is an international concert cellist and a graduate of the Juilliard School.
I have years of performance experience in many genres of music, and on several instruments. During my time at Laurier, I have worked as a TA in theory and musical skills, and have experience teaching voice, violin and piano.
