Teaching Philosophy
Music brings people together. I always noticed as a young person that at all gatherings of large people, there was always music around. Whether it be in large shopping malls, restaurants, or parties, music was there. I like teaching people about music because it enhances the experiences someone has, with the people they care about. The more people we are able to help through a musical education, the more we can bring communities together, large or small.
Musical Education
I am attending the University of Windsor to complete my B.Mus in Voice. I studied piano from the ages 4-18 and achieved a gr.8 piano with RCM. I am taking lessons in voice studying under Dr J. Swanson, and piano lessons under Dr P. Adamson, with additional saxophone experience from high school bands, and the University Wind Ensemble.
Special Skills and Trainings
My piano expertise focuses on classical, baroque, and modern film music following a Russian-standard practice style, as opposed to the French styling. As a vocalist, I am more green, but have lots of personal experience in training. I am studying under a doctorate, who has many years of training. I am a member of the 2024 Ontario Youth Choir, and have plans on releasing classical music albums with colleagues in the City. I have 10 years of experience teaching kids and adults how to swim, and have recently moved away from that field to focus more on the study subject of my degree.

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!
