I began learning the piano at the age of six! In 1997, I acquired a Bachelor of Music Degree from the University of Ottawa. I was very fortunate to have studied with wonderful and talented instructors including: Andrew Tunis who tutored me in Piano and Accompaniment throughout my degree, Dave Hildinger, who inspired me with his Commercial Arranging course and Jazz Piano lessons. One of the most beneficial and practical courses I took while in University was Piano Pedagogy with Professor Cynthia Floyd, who taught me the skills I needed to become a competent and sensitive music teacher. 

Another part of my degree led me to take a course in ORFF pedagogy and I was so inspired by the philosophy that I continued taking ORFF courses at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto until I obtained my specialization certificate in 1997. I have since taken additional courses in Early Childhood Music Education. Studying Jazz piano with talented and local Jazz pianist Yves Laroche at The Bell's Corners Academy of Music, has rounded out my musical training.

Beginner and more advanced students are welcome. Beginners will study from the new Celebrate Piano SeriesTM or the Faber and Faber Piano Adventures series. Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum may be followed after the beginner level is completed. 

Students are encouraged to participate in RCM Examinations, festivals and recitals. However, those who just wish to play for fun will certainly learn to do so!

I have been teaching piano to children and adults of all ages  in the town of Kemptville for over eighteen years. My approach is to not only teach piano, but to help students develop a life long love of music. Lesson are presented fun and interesting way with the goal of developing all aspects of musicianship including reading, playing, listening and improvising at the piano. Training in theory and technique are include to round out the music learning experience. I encourage my students to be expressive and creative both in studio and at home. Lessons are tailored to suit the needs of my students. and they can choose to follow the Royal Conservatory Curriculum or learn to play just for fun. I strongly encourage students to participate in recitals and local festivals to develop confidence in performance.

I am currenly accepting registration for Fall 2010. As I am working mother of two small children, I have limited spots available. Most lessons are offered a few evenings during the week (limited spaces) or on Saturday. Please register early, as spaces tend to fill up quickly!

My studio is located in Kemptville. Please contact me at 613-258-2508 if you have any inquires about private piano lessons.
