Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is rooted in creating a supportive and inspiring environment where students can explore music and develop their skills at their own pace. I believe that music should be accessible to everyone, and I strive to make my lessons engaging and enjoyable for students of all ages and skill levels.
Musical Education
I currently possess a Bachelor's of Music from Western University. My principal teacher includes Tina Yanchus, who is formerly a honorary musician from The Juilliard School of Performaning Arts.

Special Skills and Trainings
I remember listening to my mother sing in an operatic style throughout the house during my early childhood. This drove an interest in musical arts at an early age, and I aim to create a positive and encouraging learning experience, where students feel motivated to explore new genres and styles. I also have experience in Post-Production Audio, which mixes and masters audio for commercial production.

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!
