Teaching Philosophy
To me, music stands as the ultimate universal language, possessing a remarkable power to unite people from diverse backgrounds. It serves as a beautiful conduit for emotional expression, enabling individuals, irrespective of their background or expertise, to forge profound connections with themselves and others. Whether you're just starting your musical journey or have mastered your instrument, playing music offers an unparalleled avenue for self-expression and joy. As a teacher, my mission is to help you achieve your aspirations while relishing every step of the journey. Regardless of your level, I am dedicated to guiding you towards your goals, ensuring that you find fulfillment and delight in the process."
Musical Education
I have a Bachelor's degree in Classical Guitar Performance from the University of Moncton. There, I studied classical composition, baroque counterpoint, harmony, and sight singing. Prior to my degree, I was self-taught with the guidance of my talented older brothers, who were skilled guitar players themselves. I drew inspiration from guitarists like Alex Lifeson from Rush, Steve Howe from Yes, and John Petrucci from Dream Theatre. Recently, I completed a graduate degree in film music at UQAM, expanding my skills in composing for movies.

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!
