Teaching Philosophy
Music is probably the most important part of my life. I picked up my father's electric guitar when I was three years old, and since then fell in love with it. At the age of 5, my grandfather saw how much I loved playing the guitar and decided to buy me my own so my dad could teach me. shortly after being taught the basics, I started listening to old tapes and records and trying to learn the songs by ear. As high school came around, I put myself in every ensemble I could, including jazz ensembles, guitar ensembles and rock bands. Once I turned 16, my teacher asked me to join her jazz band to tour in Spain. With all these great experiences, music has truly become my favourite hobby and I feel that my passion will be visible to my students. Music is all about having fun with others! Whether you're a child just learning to play, or an adult trying to reconnect with the guitar, you will always feel welcome in my lessons!
Musical Education
I am currently in my 4th year at Carleton University in the Bachelor's of Music program. Throughout my last few years at Carleton, I've had the opportunity to participate in many different ensembles, and play many different styles of music. My teacher at Carleton was a jazz/fusion guitarist who had tons of touring experience, made many connections within the industry, and led the Carleton Fusion Ensemble.

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!
