Teaching Philosophy
I truly believe that everyone can, and should sing. Not only is it an escape, but a therapeutic release from everyday life. We are allowed to be different people and characters through music, how magical is that?
Musical Education
In 2019, I received a BA in Music from Algoma University. Apparently, I could not get enough music education so I am currently pursuing a second degree from Laurier University in Vocal Performance ('23). I started violin at a young age, and like most kids decided that sports would be my new hobby...boy was that the wrong choice! Fast forward to my high school years where I was in a specialized music theatre program that ignited my passion for theatre, acting and singing. Now having more than 10 years of experience on stage as a singer and performer, allows me to incorporate movement and acting techniques into my vocal repertoire. I have studied with amazing voice teachers such as Agnes McCarthy, and Jennie Such, who helped me become the singer I am today. As a choral member at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, I currently sing under the tutelage of the wonderful Gordon Burnett. I specialize in German Lied but absolutely love music theatre, baroque opera, and art songs.

Special Skills and Trainings
Recently I was enrolled in a course called Vocal Pedagogy, taught by Canadian countertenor Daniel Cabena, which completely changed my entire teaching philosophy and has shaped me as a teacher and performer. It was incredibly beneficial to know what is happening technically at an anatomical level, especially since we use our entire body when singing.
Lessons on an online platform
Darielle can provide online instruction. While other platforms are possible BAH strongly recommends the use of the Zoom video conferencing platform as it is optimized for music lessons and audio quality.Reviews

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!
