Personal Description:

I am a Canadian musician and educator. I have been performing and teaching in Canada and internationally since 2008. I received my Masters degree in Music Performance from the Juilliard School in New York and have spent the last eight years as a performer and music teacher in the New York area. I am currently living in my hometown of Qualicum Beach and am looking forward to working with students of all ages.

While my academic credentials are in music, I also have a strong educational background in English. I would also welcome the opportunity to work with students on both disciplines.
My musical focus is on brass instruments, primarily trumpet. I also teach beginner piano, woodwinds, guitar and ukulele.

Tutoring Approach:

I aspire to give my students the tools to take ownership of their own learning. I will focus on developing critical thinking, creativity and analytical skills. Students can then apply these skills to all subject areas and beyond. Please message me with any specific questions you may have.
