Special Skills and Trainings
From the ages of 5-18 I was studying RCM piano. My mother was a piano teacher and always inspired me to love music. I always loved singing in choirs and took voice lessons as well. As well as having attended three universities, I have also attended many music intensive summer festivals such as Le Domaine Forget, Orford Musique, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Summer Institute as well as The Consummate Flutist. I have volunteered for the Flute Centre of New York at one of the USA's National Flute Conventions, where I gained a lot of knowledge on different flutes and what makes different brands special.

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!
