I strive to guide students in becoming well-rounded musicians that develop a love for music that lasts a lifetime. I believe that anyone can learn to play an instrument, no matter their age or intent. I strive to bring out each student’s musical imagination and encourage creativity and self-expression through music. I believe that music should always be fun and I seek to show my students how fun music can be.
My students are provided with a strong musical foundation that will prepare them for their musical path, whether it be a career or lifetime hobby. Music is more than simply playing notes on a page, as it encompasses various art forms such as dancing, singing and storytelling so these elements are incorporated into my lessons. Regardless if music is a hobby or a career, all areas of
music are covered in each lesson to show all that music has to offer; theory, history, sight reading, ear training, and learning repertoire. I have learned through experience that many students are not even aware of their interests until they are introduced to it. I seek to find the area of music that will spark your child’s love for music.
I look forward to taking your child on a joyful journey to experience the wonderful world of music!
I have been playing piano since the age of 9 and took private lessons until age 16 and again while completing my undergraduate degree. At the age of 13, I began studying the violin and trumpet. I continued my music education at Laurentian University in Sudbury studying classical trumpet performance and music history with a minor in
history. While at Laurentian, I was first trumpet in the Laurentian Concert band and also played in the Northern Brass Choir and the Sudbury Symphony. I then furthered my education at the university of Ottawa and gained a TA position in theory and history courses. In April 2019, I graduated with an MA in Music (Musicology & Theory). As I completed my undergraduate studies I taught private lessons so I have been teaching
privately for ten years. For the past three years I have been working at two music schools in Ottawa as a trumpet, piano and violin instructor.
