Teaching Philosophy
To me the most important part of teaching music is to help my students have fun with their instruments. We play music, we don't work music. The verb play implies fun thus I find it important to find and to help others find joy through music. Yes, there comes many hours of practice in our musical journeys but at the end of the day I hope to encourage each of my students to have fun with music. I strive to keep my lessons comfortable for my students. I want to foster a healthy learning environment where one can tap into their inner curiosity with music and feel secure in their musical exploration.
Musical Education
I have attended Vancouver Island University for two years in their jazz studies program. I am finishing up some classes there and potentially at another institution in the next year to finish my diploma.

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!
