Susan Marwood Taylor

I hold an Honours degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Windsor and bring over 30 years of experience as a dedicated educator and performer. I offer private instruction in voice and piano to students of all ages and skill levels, incorporating classical, contemporary, and musical theatre repertoire. My teaching philosophy emphasizes the development of strong musical technique, effective practice strategies, and a deep connection to music that inspires and motivates. I believe that learning music fosters not only artistic growth but also personal development. Students in my studio gain valuable life skills such as goal setting, independent learning, critical thinking, and confident performance. Lessons are conducted in an environment that balances humour and respect, encouraging students to reach their full potential in a supportive space. Studio members participate in seasonal recitals and local music festivals, with opportunities for Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) exam preparation and audition coaching. Many of my students have earned awards at both local and provincial levels and have gone on to successfully audition for post-secondary music programs.
