OPENING JUNE 15
In-person ages 8+, online 14+ with parental consent
Formal education
Classically trained pianist for 13 years, completed grade 7 theory and performance exam. Studying grade 8 currently, continuing my education so I can complete my ARCT & LRCM.
Why I desire to teach
Growing up I was blessed with the lovely and brilliant Linda Patterson as my teacher as a child, and still is to this day.
Her unique gentle methods of teaching and immense patience inspired, and disheartened me that there weren’t many people out there like her. Until I realized when I was 14, why not me? Since then as the years passed, my passion kept growing stronger, and I became even more honoured to be her student.
Being a queer, trans non-binary musician and artist, I provide a safe and judgement-free space for all, and a welcoming environment for young LGBT2QIA+ youth to explore their musical passions and creativity whilst being their most authentic self.
In-person lessons
If you schedule in-person lessons, they will be in my private studio. Located at 1660 McLauchlin Dr. Courtenay BC, Canada.
(Photos coming June 15)
I take immense care into the presentation of my place. I want it to be an atmosphere I would have loved to have taken lessons in as a child. A place that felt like home.
I want nothing less than to provide my dream to others, a beautiful reality we can all share together.
I can provide formal RCM training, teach you your favourite songs from movies, videogames, and more. I always provide a free consultation before taking on a student so I know I am a right fit to optimize their potential in whatever they desire for themselves.
Additional things to know.
I have a pet cat named Flower who mainly stays outdoors and away from visitors, if you have a cat allergy please inform me. I also frequently clean my studio to eliminate dust and potential allergens.
Online lessons
Limited to strictly beginners music theory at this time via zoom in my quaint studio. If Flower my cat makes an appearance and you wish to say hi, it will not be counted in our paid time together, so when Flower is on-screen ask me all the complicated questions! (That was a joke, in a contract you will sign you shall pinkie promise not to abuse cat privileges. (The contract also does not exist.))
