Teaching Philosophy
Music has been a guiding force in my life, and I believe it has the power to inspire, connect, and bring out the best in each of us. As a teacher, I strive to create an environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and free to explore their musical abilities. Whether it’s a beginner discovering the joy of playing their first notes or a more advanced student working on refining their technique, my goal is to make the learning process engaging and enjoyable. I see each lesson as a collaboration, where I guide students through their unique musical journeys. I focus on building a solid foundation of technique while also nurturing their creativity and expression. For me, teaching goes beyond just mastering an instrument; it’s about helping students build confidence, discipline, and a lifelong appreciation for music. I believe that learning music should be a joyful experience, and I incorporate elements of fun and exploration into my teaching. I encourage my students to embrace mistakes as part of their growth, fostering an atmosphere where they can experiment and take risks without fear. Every student, regardless of age, deserves patience, understanding, and respect, and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Music is more than a skill; it’s a language that speaks to our emotions and brings people together. As a teacher, I’m passionate about helping my students find their own voices through music, guiding them towards their personal goals while sharing in the excitement of their progress.

Special Skills and Trainings
My participation in festivals like the Toronto Summer Music Festival, Big Lake Festival, and Ottawa Chamberfest has been instrumental in broadening my musical horizons. These experiences allowed me to work alongside top-tier musicians, exposing me to new styles and approaches that I now bring into my teaching and performance. Additionally, my time in the EQ Lamp program at the Lunenburg Academy of Music, under the mentorship of Barbara Hannigan, taught me the importance of versatility and creativity in music-making. I have had the privilege of performing with esteemed ensembles such as the Canadian Opera Company, Esprit Orchestra, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, and Orchestre symphonique de Drummondville. These experiences have honed my skills in collaboration, adaptability, and precision, all of which I pass on to my students. My time with these orchestras has given me insight into the nuances of ensemble playing and the importance of listening and responding to others in real-time. Starting in September 2024, I took on the role of Principal Clarinet with the Orchestre symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. This position has been a significant milestone in my career, requiring leadership, responsibility, and a deep commitment to excellence. It has reinforced my belief in the value of clear communication and meticulous preparation, qualities that I emphasize in my teaching to help students build confidence and stage presence.

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!
