Teaching Philosophy
I believe every individual should be exposed to learning music at some point in their life. Music has afforded me the opportunity to gain confidence, express my creativity and excel in other aspects of my life. Nothing brings me more joy than sharing my talents both on stage and in the classroom. Statistically speaking, students who are exposed to music at an early age become more rounded and are successful with any academic path they take. Skills such as discipline, creativity, critical thinking and expression are all learned in music and can be applied to all aspects of life.
Musical Education
I have a degree in Fine Arts with distinction, specializing in music. I also hold a Bachelor of Music in Performance degree from the University of Toronto. I studied violin from the age of 6 and later continued my studies on trumpet. I have had the privilege of studying with many accomplished musicians that aided in shaping my musical career

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!
