Teaching Philosophy
My goal as a teacher is to help the student develop the tools they need to embark on their own musical journey.I believe that everyone can become a great musician, songwriter or composer, but every method of teaching does not work equally well for every student. This is why I believe the most important job of a teacher is to figure out what every individual student needs, so that they can grow into the musician they want to be.
Musical Education
I have a Bachelor of Music from Humber College, which included classes in performance, music theory, ear training, composition, arranging and music production. Before transferring to Humber, I also completed 2 out of 3 years of an advanced diploma in music at Mohawk College, which included both classical and jazz theory, performance, ear training, counterpoint and arranging. During my last year of Humber College I managed to switch my major instrument from voice to composition, being the only student to take private lessons in composition. I have written music for short films, as well as performance pieces in classical and jazz idioms.

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!
