Teaching Philosophy
It is important for students to be active participants in their own learning. The three main things I value and try to encourage in all of my lessons are student-centered learning environments, goal-oriented lessons, and students gaining the ability to problem solve and think for themselves. This is why I as an educator strive to adapt to the individual needs of each person I am working with to create an environment where students feel heard, safe, and excited to express themselves and explore the world of music.
Musical Education
I have a Bachelor of Music degree from Queen’s University, which included performance classes in musical theatre and classical voice. I am beginning my Master of Arts in Music Education from McGill University in September, 2023. I have been studying voice privately since the age of eight and studied piano from the age of five to eighteen. I have taken many courses in theory, ear training, music history, diction, and vocal technique through Queen’s University.

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!
