Instruments: Double Bass

If a student can grasp at least one or two concepts in one full lesson, and be able to internalize what they learned, I'm very pleased and inspired to discover how that concept sticks with them in the following lessons. I love developing new, positive brain patterns off of musical experiences that the student resonates with the most. I congratulate a student when they've corrected a negative habit, or if they've improved or tried something new, and that inspires them to keep trying. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola Fiddle Music

In my lessons, I balance technique with musicality; though learning the violin requires discipline, I maintain a comfortable, friendly atmosphere while pushing pupils to achieve results. As a teacher I prioritize inspiration while providing structure for growth and flexibility to accommodate individual needs. This means setting realistic goals, regular practice routines, and acknowledging accomplishments, preferably in a recital or performance. I try to pass on my own passion for music while nurturing my students' interests in a safe environment that cultivates growth and progress. Read More

Instruments: Voice

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

I am passionate about music and serious about my work. But I also have the flexibility to consider my students’ interests, abilities and obstacles as I plan their lessons and guide them through their practice. I love the process of teaching as it allows me to convey my thoughts and feelings about music to my students. I see music as organized sound and as an amazing human sonic creation that delights our senses, impacts out feeling states, and allows us to communicate abstract thoughts and feelings. Read More
