Teacher ARCT
Teaching all ages brings me great joy, along with ever changing challenges! I hold my ARCT (Teachers) with the RCM and have taught Piano, Rudiments, History, and Harmony for over 25 years now . I am passionate about teaching the fundamentals on which all of music was built - harmony. A teacher is always learning and that is also one of my favourite things about this career! I have pursued flute and cello lessons later in life and am amazed at how much there is to learn about each and every instrument! In my mind, music does not have an end-goal. It is a lifetime skill that keeps adding to the quality of your life.
