Having witnessed the profound impact of music in young individuals' lives, I recognize the significance of imparting skills that extend beyond simply learning music. My lesson plans are designed to instill confidence and foster a genuine love for the art form. Through these plans, students gradually develop the ability to perform any piece using the practice strategies they've acquired.
I firmly believe in the power of positive reinforcement and adaptability to meet the unique needs of each individual. Recognizing that everyone learns through different methods and explanations, I strive to tailor my approach accordingly.
My ultimate goal is to create a fun and supportive environment that allows for personal growth to emerge organically from the student. By providing guidance and encouragement, I empower my students to take ownership of their musical journey and discover their true potential.
I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Calgary, a Master of Music at the University of Alberta, and I am currently working on my Bachelor of Education at the University of Alberta. My musical journey began with piano lessons at the age of seven, which continued until I was sixteen. However, my main instrument is the clarinet, which I started playing at twelve and continued studying through my master's.
During my musical journey, I actively participated in marching band programs within Calgary for eight years. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the valuable skills that music brings to the lives of young individuals.
While focused on becoming a conductor, I still maintain my performance experience by playing with the University of Alberta Symphonic Wind Ensemble. This balance between conducting training and performance keeps my passion for music alive and enriches my overall musical experience.
My experience as a woodwind instructor for five years in a marching band has been invaluable in developing my ability to approach different students and situations without judgment. Working with school clinics has further enriched my teaching skills, as I learn directly from the students about their specific needs and challenges. I am committed to constantly improving myself as an instructor, as this directly benefits my students and helps me better meet their unique learning requirements.
