Teaching Philosophy
Music for life! is my philosophy and I seek to encourage my students to pursue learning music as not just a temporary endeavor, but as a way to enjoy their life, enjoy giving to others, and enjoy as an outlet. I also do my best to inspire students of any age to learn piano to the degree they think they can...and then enable them to go beyond their imaginary threshold! Creating their own music is essential to better understanding the written music and theory, so I also focus on assisting students with basic composition skills.
Musical Education
Greetings! Music has been a part of my life since I was 3yrs old getting home-lessons from my mom! Since then, I had the usual ups and downs with practicing until as a youth and young adult I realized that piano and music was so important to me that I pursued becoming a piano teacher as a career. I was inspired by my late 80+ yr old piano teacher that music was for life! She demonstrated this to me in her own life. Currently, I am near completion of my Masters of Arts (Music) out of University of Lethbridge. Prior to this, I completed my Bachelor of Education degree out of University of Calgary in 2021. I am re-pursuing my ATCL (Associate Trinity College of London (England) in piano performance. This is an exercise in persistence and patience as I navigate motherhood, teaching and learning in my Masters of Arts (Music). I look forward to learning together with you in music!
Special Skills and Trainings
Relating to students where they are at in their development is a strength of mine. By observing students of all ages over the past 22 years, I have become able to recognize hidden strengths, masked insecurities, work ethic and more. By approaching learning piano in a wholistic way, I have also been able to effectively work with students who have dyslexia, autism, ADHD, FASD, physical challenges, and PTSD.

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!
