Teaching Philosophy
For me, the most important thing is that students, whether they are children or adults, have fun playing music. I teach what students want to learn. Pour moi, la chose la plus importante est que mes élèves, qu'ils soient enfants ou adultes, aient du plaisir à jouer de la musique. J'enseigne aux élèves ce qu'ils désirent apprendre.
Musical Education
I have a Bachelor's degree in classical guitar performance from Montreal University. I also studied with the great soloist Alvaro Pierri at Laval University. J'ai un baccalauréat en interprétation de la guitare classique de l'Université de Montréal. J'ai aussi étudié avec le soliste de réputation internationale Alvaro Pierri à l'Université Laval.

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!
