Teaching Philosophy
I believe that music is a source of self-discovery and a way to freely express who you are. My main goal is to use music as a tool to help students find their voice and express themselves. I graduated from Selkirk College's contemporary music and technology program, where I studied vocals, guitar, and songwriting. I truly believe that everyone has a voice to share, and I want to help students build confidence and feel secure in their musical abilities. With over eight years of experience playing music, I’m excited to share my knowledge and passion with students. The three most important themes in my teaching are self-expression, openness, and commitment. I strive to motivate my students while making sure we have fun along the way! Music is a versatile art of expression, and I believe it's important for everyone to have a musical outlet.
Musical Education
I majored in voice and songwriting at Selkirk College. I graduated with a diploma and was an honours student. I studied guitar and bass as well at Selkirk College. I have two years of harmony, composition and ear training knowledge.
Special Skills and Trainings
I have taught students from the age of four to the age of seventy. I believe everyone should have a sense of passion and art in their lives no matter what age.

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!
