About
Music and musical expression is an integral component to development and growth. I believe in the beneficial capacity of music. I believe it encourages joy and freedom of expression. All of my lessons are centered around artistic expression, and the enjoyment of music.
Teaching Style
I have owned and operated Jerseyville Road Studio for 14 years. I have my Bachelor of Music from McMaster University for Classical Vocal Summa Cum Laude, and I received my Performance Diploma from Mohawk College for Classical Vocal Performance with Honours.
