Lessons

I'm an enthusiastic singing and rudiments (Grade 1 and 2 Theory) teacher serving the eastern portion of Ottawa from my home near Blair Road. I bring my students years of solo, choral, recital, exam and competition experience.

My students have been accepted as voice majors in music programs at Canterbury and de la Salle high schools in Ottawa, as well as at the following universities: Carleton, Concordia, Dalhousie, Queens, and University of Ottawa.

I teach all styles of music to ages 8 and up, and prefer students to have had one year on another instrument such as the piano, to help with music reading. The teaching terms are usually early September to early January, and mid January to early June, or students may start at their convenience. Parent sessions may be held to discuss exam, recital and/or festival requirements, and a year-end recital takes place at the end of the Spring session.

My method includes techniques to improve pitch, breath control and tone, the skills to safely warm up your voice, and handling sight singing and music theory. I am a tutor with the Canterbury vocal arts program.
