Teaching Philosophy
Music has been the heart of my existence since the moment I first picked up the guitar. I was fortunate to have an inspiring first teacher who revealed the incredible journey music could offer when one truly commits. Music has the power to cultivate growth in every facet of life, and that's why my teaching philosophy revolves around helping each student discover their unique voice and form of expression. I firmly believe that a solid grasp of musical fundamentals, including rhythm, ear training, and instrumental technique, lays the foundation for reaching profound levels of musical expression. The key lies in striking a balance between self-discipline and letting go, fostering growth without stress or anxiety.
Musical Education
I have BA degree in jazz performance from Mcgill University as well as a DEC also in jazz performance from Cegep St-Laurent. Some of the teachers I have had the chance to learn from include Chris Mccann, John Holenbeck, Joe Sullivan, Jean Michel Pilc.
Awards and Distinctions
Guitar scholarship recipient from McGill jazz performance program 2016.
Special Skills and Trainings
Throughout my time at McGill University and in life, I've had the privilege of crossing paths with teachers and fellow musicians who've shown me that our personal growth and musical journey are intimately intertwined. It's a powerful reminder that working on ourselves harmonizes with our musical expression, and this journey is intrinsically rewarding.

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!
