Teaching Philosophy
I have always believed that music is part of human nature. It is a form of human expression that can bring so much meaning to our lives without ever needing to speak a single word. I also have always believed that every single human being has some level of musical capacity that can be developed. My aim as a teacher is to help students understand themselves as musicians so they can make authentic musical choices that will make learning a meaningful experience for them.
Musical Education
I have a Bachelor of Music from Memorial University and a Bachelor of Education from St. FX University. I began receiving private instruction in classical music on piano at the age of 8, then continued my music education on trombone at the age of 10 until completing my Bachelor of Music. During my post-secondary studies, I also studied other instruments, primarily guitar. I have over twenty years of experience playing and learning guitar by ear and from tablature and standard music notation.
Special Skills and Trainings
I have a diverse set of musical experiences that are part of who I am as an educator. I received classical music training on various instruments, and my guitar studies have primarily focused on learning by ear and through hands-on experiences. Aside from this, I have studied music theory and have spent considerable time composing and recording music using various software. These learning experiences have shown me that learning music can be approached from many different angles. I like to synthesize these different approaches when I am teaching, which allows me to differentiate instruction based on my student's needs.

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!
