Growing up, I experienced firsthand how rigid exam prep and unrealistic expectations from parents can sometimes diminish the joy of playing music. Everything changed when I found a mentor who introduced repertoire I loved alongside strong classical fundamentals. That spark ignited my career, and it is the exact feeling I wish to provide to my students. My lessons are tailored to each student's age, personality, and musical goals.
Young Beginners (Ages 4+): We build fundamental woodwind techniques, proper embouchure setup, breathing practices, and rhythm through fun, supportive, and engaging exercises.
Intermediate & RCM/ABRSM Exam Prep: Structured guidance through exam technique (scales), technical/lyrical studies, sight-reading, and aural training, encouraging students to build confidence and achieve high marks (Distinction/Honors).
Hobbyists & Adults: A relaxed, supportive pace focused on playing your favorite music while developing clear tone, fluid technique, and personal artistic expression.
Lessons can be conducted in-person (at my studio or traveling to your home across the GTA) or online with professional webcam and audio setups.
