My studio is called ConBrio Music which means ‘with spirit’. Music is a gift that we develop and share with others, one that feeds our spirit, challenges our coordination, builds our brains, and creates life-long enjoyment. Music is important, especially through the pandemic, lessons have not been canceled, making music, enjoying music has not been canceled, and using music for stress relief is valuable. Music is a unique way to express ourselves and give voice to emotions that young students in particular may not be able to express in words.

My favourite part of teaching music is variety – from working with young beginners to coaching University students, every day is different.

I have been teaching piano and theory since 1995 and have submitted more than 800 students for RCM Exams! I particularly enjoy teaching the Advanced Theory Levels and it is a privilege to work with the students of many accomplished colleagues. I am an active member of ORMTA (the Ontario Registered Music teacher’s association), have an Honour’s Bachelor of Arts Degree and Certificates in Piano Pedagogy (art of teaching) from RCM. As a teacher I value life-long learning and continue looking for new ways to improve my knowledge and teaching.

Piano students are encouraged to play a variety of musical styles. My training is primarily classical, but since the mid-1990s I have enjoyed learning to chord and improvise for worship at church. I follow the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music https://www.rcmusic.com/) curriculum for the core of what I teach, and welcome students to bring any other music they want to play! Duets, trios, and quartets (2 pianos, 8 hands) are great fun to learn and perform with others.
