Teaching Philosophy
I take a kind, personable approach in my teaching, always striving to create a welcoming and encouraging environment. I believe that every student learns differently, so I tailor my lessons to meet each individual's unique strengths, challenges, and learning style. Whether I'm teaching young children, teens, or adults, my goal is to help each student feel supported, seen, and capable. I want my students to enjoy the learning process and never feel stressed or overwhelmed by it—music should be a source of joy and a way to relieve stress, not add to it. That said, if a student is eager to be challenged or pushed beyond their comfort zone, I’m more than happy to support and guide them toward their goals with intention and care. Above all, I aim to create an experience where learning music feels both rewarding and enjoyable.
Musical Education
I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Lethbridge, where I focused on developing both my technical skills and musical expression. In addition to my university studies, I completed my Royal Conservatory of Music Grade 10 with Honours. Over the years, I’ve been recognized in several regional music festivals, earning 12 Gold Certificates from the Performing Arts Festival and a Gold Certificate from the High River Lions Music Festival. I was also awarded three scholarships from the Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival, which supported my continued studies and performance development. Alongside my academic and performance background, I hold a certification in Kindermusik, reflecting my interest in early childhood music education and a commitment to fostering musical growth from the very first stages of learning.

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!
