Not your Standard Music Teacher

My time spent with you takes on many different forms, with that, the expectation of what I offer as a music teacher.

Graduating from Lakehead University with my Honours Bachelor of Music (Vocal) and Bachelor of Education degrees my teaching has been informed heavily through my time as a student.

I often struggled

I never excelled in the classical ways of learning.
I understand that all minds don’t work in the same way, so I have developed a teaching method that is different, welcoming and open.

I rely heavily on the art of feeling.

The idea that perfection is not the ultimate goal.

Music can be fun and easy! Music is for everyone!

HERE'S what Lessons Could look Like

• Sometimes we sing and play music (Lots of It)

• Sometimes we chat about life, sometimes we cry together

• Sometimes we laugh until we cry

• Sometimes we don’t play, or sing music at all...because some days....it’s not about the music. It’s about sharing the human experience

• Sometimes I will guide you with bits of inspiration.....ideas....lots of encouragement and love....and the occasional gentle but firm nudge outside the box we find ourselves in.

• I will always support you, I will always be your loudest cheerleader, and enthusiastic guide to almost annoying proportions.....

• I will spur you on to be completely, one hundred percent......you.....

New Ways

If you are looking for a more standard teaching practice.

• Theory, Note Reading, Festivals, Process, Competition
  
  I would love to point you in the direction of several other highly skilled and talented teachers here in Thunder Bay.

  Because we have some of the best teachers out there!!!

I offer something different.

My intentions for the time we spend together are:

• That we learn to enjoy music in a free and loving manner

• That I will support you in your exploration of self and music

• That you will get out of it what you put into it

    Half-Hour Session $45| Hour Session $90

Do You Want to
