Teaching Philosophy
Music has been the biggest part of my life since before I can remember. Music has always been a place for me to express the emotions I don't have words for. I love how music can be a space for even the most shy people to fully express themselves. I believe that music is one of the most beautiful aspects of human society, and that every person is capable of creating that beauty no matter their age or skill level. I am currently a music education student at UBC and this is the reason I want to be a music teacher; I want to use the skills I have developed to give this gift of music to others.
Musical Education
I started by studying piano privately from the age of eight until the age of eighteen. I also studied voice privately throughout middle school and high school. Besides classical, I also played trumpet in my high school's jazz band and concert band, played piano for choir, sang in vocal jazz, and sang in rock band. For violin, I started playing when I was 12. However I advanced very quickly due to the help and guidance of my violin teacher. I was able to advance to the point where I am currently studying the violin at UBC School of Music with Professor David Gillham.

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!
