I have the distinct pleasure of teaching and sharing music with students of all ages to enrich their lives and to help make music part of their lives forever! The 2019 - 2020 teaching term will be my 50th year of teaching and I can honestly say I still absolutely love it! Many of my students have gone on to become teachers and I am now a piano grandma!!
I am a certified teacher and have had the honour of instructing gold medal winners. Receiving the RCM Teacher of Distinction Award in 2018 was humbling and encouraging!
Providing the opportunity for children to study music is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give their child!
