Flexibility is key when it comes to making music education accessible. I offer both in-studio lessons, where students can enjoy a focused, professional environment, and at-home lessons, which provide added comfort and convenience for families. Whether you’re looking to learn piano, enhance your skills with voice and singing lessons, or develop your technique through flute lessons, I am committed to meeting you where you are.
My goal is to remove barriers to music education, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to pursue their musical journey without limits. With a commitment to inclusivity, we’ll work together to create a learning schedule and environment that fosters growth, confidence, and creativity.
Custom Programs
Music Programs Designed Around You
I believe every student deserves a music education that meets their unique needs, abilities, and learning style. Through my custom music programs, I collaborate closely with students and families to develop personalized plans that foster steady progress and a deep love for music. Whether you’re exploring music classes for the first time or seeking specialized piano lessons for kids, my approach ensures every student feels confident, creative, and engaged.
By adapting teaching techniques to prioritize enjoyment and engagement, I create a pathway to success that’s as unique as the student. Progress is tracked carefully, with adjustments made along the way to ensure milestones are celebrated and goals are achieved.
Custom Music Programs Tailored to Every Individual
From beginner to advanced learners, my tailored music classes are designed to inspire and empower. By meeting with each student and observing their abilities, I gain a clear understanding of how to best support their growth. I also work hand-in-hand with families to set personalized goals, whether that’s mastering an instrument or gaining confidence in performance.
These music programs go beyond standard instruction by incorporating adaptive teaching methods, focusing on nurturing creativity, and building a strong foundation for lifelong learning. For example, if you’re considering piano lessons for kids, every aspect of the program will be customized to bring out the best in your child’s musical journey.
Kodály Method
Experience the Transformative Power of the Kodály Method
The Kodály Method is a celebrated, rhythm-based approach to music education that not only enhances musical skills but also fosters emotional, cognitive, and social development. With its foundation in music therapy, this method engages students through singing, movement, and creative play, creating a dynamic and enjoyable learning atmosphere.
By integrating rhythmic activities and vocal exercises, I help students develop a strong sense of musicality and self-expression, making each lesson an enriching experience.
Inclusive Group and One-on-One Kodály Method Sessions
My Kodály music education sessions are designed to accommodate various skill levels and learning styles, ensuring every student can thrive. In private music lessons, I provide personalized attention, focusing on each student's unique abilities and interests. This individualized approach allows us to delve deeper into their musical journey, whether they are just starting out or seeking to refine their skills further.
In contrast, my group music lessons foster a collaborative learning environment, where students can interact, share ideas, and learn from one another. Through group activities, we work on developing social skills, teamwork, and a sense of community, all while enjoying the process of making music together. Each session is flexible, allowing students to choose the format that best suits their learning preferences and goals, making the Kodály Method accessible to all.
Cultural Storytelling Through Music
Music is deeply connected to culture, and through the Kodály music method, I emphasize the importance of cultural storytelling in our lessons. I believe that music is not just a collection of notes but a powerful medium for sharing traditions, histories, and emotions. In Canada, this means introducing students to a rich variety of folk songs from different cultures, allowing them to appreciate the diversity of musical expression.
I encourage students to bring their own cultural songs and stories to the classroom, creating a vibrant exchange of traditions. This approach not only highlights the roots of the Kodály Method in folk traditions but also enriches the learning experience by connecting music education with heritage and community. By showcasing the diversity and universality of music, I inspire students to explore their cultural backgrounds and understand the global nature of musical expression.
Classroom Training
Classroom Music Training for All Ages
My classroom music training focuses on equipping educators with the tools they need to create inclusive music environments. I specialize in developing tailored training programs that address the unique needs of students across various grade levels, from pre-K to university.
By observing classroom dynamics and collaborating with teachers, I help adapt routines and lesson plans that foster individual growth through music. This collaborative approach ensures that all students, regardless of their abilities, can thrive in a supportive learning atmosphere.
School Collaboration for Inclusive Music Education
Collaboration with schools is at the heart of my mission to integrate inclusive music practices into existing programs. I work closely with educators to provide specialized support in implementing adaptive music curricula and lesson plans that cater to diverse classrooms. My experience with the school system allows me to understand the challenges teachers face and develop effective solutions that promote accessibility for all learners.
Through my training, educators gain valuable insights into music theory and effective strategies for applying the Kodály in the classroom. I empower teachers to confidently incorporate inclusive music education techniques into their classrooms, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to engage with music meaningfully. Together, we create an enriching educational environment where students can explore their musical potential and foster a lifelong love for music.

Exploring the Six Domains of Inclusive Music Education
We recognize that music education is about more than just learning notes and rhythms; it’s a holistic approach that touches on various aspects of development. Our inclusive music education philosophy addresses six key domains that contribute to a well-rounded musical experience. Here’s how each domain is nurtured in our lessons:
Communication
In our lessons, we focus on strengthening both verbal and non-verbal expression. Through singing, playing instruments, and group activities, students learn to convey their thoughts and feelings more effectively, enhancing their ability to communicate with others.
Cognitive
Music education is a powerful tool for cognitive development. Our lessons enhance memory, problem-solving skills, and focus. By engaging students in musical activities that require critical thinking and creativity, we help them improve their cognitive abilities while having fun.
Behavioural
Developing positive routines and discipline is essential for personal growth. In our inclusive music education setting, students learn to follow instructions, practice consistently, and respect their peers, all of which contribute to positive behavioral development.
Emotional
Music has a unique ability to foster self-confidence and resilience. Through performance opportunities and supportive feedback, students gain a sense of achievement and learn to navigate challenges, helping them build emotional strength and confidence in themselves.
Sensory
We provide sensory engagement and stimulation through diverse musical experiences. From hands-on instrument play to creative movement, our lessons cater to various sensory needs, allowing students to explore and express their creativity in a safe environment.
Physical
Music education also focuses on improving coordination and fine motor skills. Through playing instruments, singing, and movement activities, students enhance their physical abilities, promoting overall motor skill development.
