Teaching Philosophy
I'm here to ignite a passion for music in Toronto's East End! I believe that learning about music should be fun, liberating, and rewarding. As someone who has spent a great deal of time in conservatories and high-achieving education programs, I found none of those experiences truly fulfilling artistically. Our lessons will focus on not only the development of skills but also on the pursuit of your curiosity, the refinement of your musical taste and opinions, and the joy that music can bring to your life. I aim to nurture your artistry by tailoring lessons to your strengths and accommodating your learning styles. Drawing from my experience teaching not only music but also theater and dance, I offer a highly adaptable teaching style and an interdisciplinary perspective.
Musical Education
After completing my Level Eight Royal Conservatory of Music Vocal Exam and RCM Advanced Theory certificate with Honors, I attended Sheridan College’s Bachelor of Musical Theatre Performance Program. I graduated with Honors, with a minor in Writing for Musical Theatre. I studied vocal privately throughout my entire adolescence and early adult years, as well as piano, music theory, and acting. I was part of the first ensemble of Emerging Artists mentored by the Canadian Musicians Co-operative, where I pivoted to pursue my love of guitar and composition. I’ve worked with Mirvish, Musical Stage Co, and Neptune Theatre, further developing my craft and artistry in professional settings. In other disciplines, I am a professional dancer with my Advanced 2 ISTD Tap with Distinction and my Advanced 1 RAD Ballet, I’ve worked in Voice Over, TV, and Film, I’m a certified Basic Actor Combatant, and I teach multiple styles of dance and theatre to children ages 2-18. I believe in using an interdisciplinary approach to music education, perspective gained from my many artistic pursuits.

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!
