Welcome
For the past twenty years I have enjoyed teaching students of all ages and levels. I strive for a gentle and encouraging environment so that students can develop their musicality to their fullest potential.
For beginner students I use the Faber & Faber method. I find this progressive method to be well thought out, inspiring, and fun for the student. As my students develop I take a more individual approach to meet their interests, goals, and abilities.
Performance Opportunities & Exams
Student concerts are held three times a year (November, March and June), and all students are invited to perform. Students are also encouraged to take exams through the Royal Conservatory of Music and local students can participate in the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival.
Lessons offered
