Teaching Philosophy
From the time I was a small child, there was one thing made abundantly clear to my loved ones: Yasmeen loves music. The most beautiful moments in my life always included music, whether it was me creating it, my students, or my peers. It is something I can not and will not live without. My goal when I teach is to nurture that passion and dedication in others, just as I was through my wonderful music educators. As a musician, we rely on our minds and body to create art, meaning there must be a safe space and calmness to create our best sounds. This is why I start every lesson with calm breathing and warmups to set up the best outcome for my students. Music starts with love and curiosity, especially at younger ages. Every student deserves to feel supported no matter what, in their musical journey. I promise to bring all of this to every lesson, no matter the age or experience.
Musical Education
Hello! My name is Yasmeen and I have completed my Bachelor of Music in honors performance in voice! I have been educated mostly in classical voice, specifically opera performance however, I have also trained in an abundance of musical theatre training through summer programs and private teachers. I have been singing seriously since I was 11 years old training in pop vocal technique and musical theatre. I eventually switched to classical voice and achieved my grade 8 RCM certificate in distinction for voice. With my bachelor's degree, I was trained extensively in music history, music theory, lyric diction (German, Italian, and French), vocal techniques, and performance techniques. Within my degree, I also studied piano and achieved my grade 6 RCM with a classical, Russian teacher. My primary teachers through my musical journey were Jane Snider and Jackie Short!
Special Skills and Trainings
I have always been described as someone who immediately creates a space of inclusivity and joy in every room I enter. I believe this represents my teaching style. I provide a happy, encouraging atmosphere while teaching. In addition to this, I grew up around my mother who was also a music teacher and educator, which has helped me grow as a teacher and a performer. I have participated in three solo recitals in both school and private settings. I also participated in two emerging artist programs at Nuova Vocal Arts, which has been a huge factor in my development as a performer.

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!
