Teaching Philosophy
Learning an instrument is hard. The process will undoubtedly lead many to struggle. This is a normal and beautiful thing when learning about music. My goal as a teacher is to create a safe space where the student can feel comfortable failing and making mistakes.
Musical Education
I started piano at 9 years old. Learning in a traditional classical style. At 19 I started my studies at Vanier, where I completed a DEC in piano performance. There I was also taught musicianship skills, and advance music theory. After completing my DEC, I went on to do an undergraduate degree in music composition at McGill university. Here, I honed in on my skills as a composer, with a minor in music theory.

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!
