Teaching Philosophy
As a private music teacher I recognize that the path to learning is not always straightforward, and that students may encounter obstacles along the way. However, I also believe that these challenges can be opportunities for growth, both for the student and for me as a teacher. By listening to my students and learning from their experiences, I can better understand their unique needs and adapt my teaching methods accordingly. In this way, teaching becomes a collaborative process, where we work together to overcome obstacles and find the most effective approach to learning. Ultimately, my goal is to empower my students to succeed, while also growing and evolving as a teacher in the process. It is my hope that through music education, my students will come to appreciate the beauty, richness, and importance of this art form, and carry that appreciation with them throughout their lives.
Musical Education
I'm a private music teacher with a diverse background in jazz, classical, and rock. As a graduate of Bishop's University with honors in music performance and music theory, I'm excited to share my passion and expertise with students of all levels. My deep understanding of multiple genres allows me to provide a unique and well-rounded education to my students, and I'm committed to helping them achieve their musical goals.

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!
