Anna offers English horn, oboe, piano, and recorder lessons, along with theory, history, harmony, and ear training, including comprehensive RCM exam preparation. She holds a Graduate Artist Diploma from the Glenn Gould School and a Bachelor of Music from the University of Victoria. Anna teaches online, in her Montreal studio, and in students' homes.
As a teacher, I am dedicated to meeting each student's unique needs and goals. Music can be so beneficial to every other area of life, as it teaches focus, dedication, resilience, and perseverance. I focus on cultivating a positive environment, where students feel comfortable to be curious and creative. I would be happy to teach students who want to prepare for conservatory exams and university auditions, as well as students who simply want to play music for the joy of it. I look forward to working with you!
I hold a Graduate Artist Diploma in oboe performance from the Glenn Gould School of The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, as well as a Bachelor of Music in oboe performance from the University of Victoria. I studied piano privately from ages 4-18, and I have completed the Grade 10 and Associate Diploma in Piano Pedagogy exams with Conservatory Canada.
Anna is a Beethoven at Home Associate Teacher
Home visit fee: $15 minimum fee. Teachers may negotiate a higher travel fee if the travel distance is longer than they are comfortable with. Most arrangements use the minimum fee.
One-Time Family Registration: $25. This covers your entire family for life - once you're in, everyone can take lessons!
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!
