Teaching Philosophy
Music is all about fun and enjoyment. To excel in music, you must feel a deep connection to the melodies and rhythms. I ensure that every lesson is a fun and enjoyable experience for each student. Recognizing their unique interests and needs, I tailor the curriculum to suit them perfectly.
Musical Education
I hold a Diploma in Contemporary Music and Technology (Production & Voice) from Selkirk College and a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from Capilano University. Having played piano since the age of three, with a lifelong love of singing, I’ve worked with artists such as The Beach Boys, Tegan and Sara, Darby Mills (Headpins), Lisa Nicole, and Chris Commisso, and many more. I’ve taught through CHEK BC Christian School, SelfDesign, and my own studio, helping students of all ages grow with musically. I believe music should be fun, creative, and confidence-building, and I strive to foster an inclusive, supportive space where every student feels welcome.

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!
