Teaching Philosophy
I am passionate about creativity that also celebrates diverse communities. I also enjoy writing all about what I’ve learned in music and movement, as it is so inspiring! I believe it’s important to keep active and practice as much as you can. Taking time to reflect and really understand one’s talents and goals is key to feeling confident and being successful.
Musical Education
My musical education is from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music, where I graduated with honours. I also studied musical theatre and played leading roles, such as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz and Mother Abess in The Sound of Music. I’ve trained in piano, violin, ukulele, voice, choir, as well as African drumming and Taiko (Japanese drums). All my music teachers devoted a lot of time and effort towards developing my talents and skills, especially opening up opportunities where I could flourish!
Awards and Distinctions
At music festivals and competitions, like Kiwanis, Arts Richmond Hill Music Festival, Ontario Vocal Jazz Festival, and Ontario Registered Music Teachers’ Association Scholarship Recital, I’ve been given awards, including first place!
Special Skills and Trainings
I enjoy creating music, such as exercises and original songs, as a recording artist. The Suzuki Method trained me to be independent and well-balanced, such that I’m able to take my playing from practicing to performing with a lot of grace and discipline.

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!
