Teaching Philosophy
Joy and play are essential elements of successful learning at any age, and I make certain that students learn without a lot of undue stress and anxiety. Adult students can expect the same support and respect as the youngest child. There is no such thing as a "stupid question", and love all the curiosity my students bring to lessons! I also always encourage my students to explore different styles or to bring whatever interests them to a lesson, even if I am unfamiliar with them.
Musical Education
I have truly studied flute from coast to coast! I have a Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance from Memorial University of Newfoundland as well as a Music Diploma from Capilano University. After completing my Bachelor's, I studied baroque flute in Venice and Florence and re-discovered a love for Irish flute music in the process. I currently play flute as a freelancer in various ensembles, and am planning to pursue further flute education in the future.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
