Nothing is more important to me than a student having fun and enjoying their lesson. Lessons are supposed to be rewarding and encouraging and I promise to bring that atmosphere to you every time I teach. From day one, we will set realistic goals in our binder and keep referring to them until they’ve been accomplished! Each student works at their own pace and I will never rush a student to get to their goals faster. Read More

I enjoy teaching students my craft in percussion whether it is drumset, world or classical genres. I have both experience in Orff and Kodaly methodology. I teach students to listen to each other and to learn and know the music that they play so that they are not playing just notes. They make the music, so what they play is there's to share. Playing the instruments require knowing the instrument that is being played and while they do this, they learn how to sing, and write the music and identify what styles and genres the music is intended.

You cannot truly be present to embody a song - whether as a character or yourself - if you are thinking about your technique (hence why it must be reliable). This means holding ourselves to a higher standard and ingraining our technique until it is habit. Kinesthetics - Finally, regardless of how objective and scientific we attempt to be in our approach to technique, the sensations we feel when singing and the language we use to describe those sensations must be subjective.

I love teaching voice! I see singing as a full body experience with a free and easy technique. I love to make singers into better versions of themselves and better artists. I am a strong believer in the fact that singing should always be done out of love and fun in the persuit of excellence. I am a graduate from the University of Toronto and the Juilliard School. I have an undergraduate, masters and artist diploma from the above schools. Read More

My style is relaxed, confident and detailed. I am passionate about the music and love to see my students enjoying the art of expressing themselves and communicating through song. I begin each lesson with yoga, strand deep breathing. I believe that the body should be as free from stress as possible and that my student’s breathing should be as natural and organic as possible. The same applies to vocal warmups , where I focus on releasing tension from the jaw, face , neck, shoulders, abs and hips. Read More

I'm passionate about starting students as young as three years old. I love cultivating an environment for young ones that both excites them and keeps them learning as much material as possible from the get-go. Young students are incredibly smart and spongey and I love learning from my own students the growth and knowledge that is actually possible to cultivate in young students. I have students ranging from beginner to advanced of all ages, adults are also welcome. Read More
