“Music unlocks self-expression, intelligence and creativity” It is my privilege to be able to inspire students to achieve a high level of learning and development through music. The universal language of music is a whole brain activity that is completely engaging and absolute fun. Each one of my students have different learning styles, strengths, capabilities and goals. Engaged in fun filled activities they are inspired to achieve their goals of understanding, creating, performing and appreciating music. Teaching has always been my passion. I am a certified R.C.M.E teacher and taught for 40 years in three different countries across the world. My students are part of my musical family. It is extremely rewarding for me to witness their achievements through the years. Some of them are gold medalists, some have won prestigious awards in music and other fields, and yet others have done their best. Success breeds success. I teach all levels of M.Y.C from Sunrise to Moonbeams. At each level they learn performance, rhythm, ear training, singing and theory which provides an excellent foundation. Through music they develop wonderful personalities and a superior way of life.

My studio is warm and cheerful, and equipped with a grand piano, 2 upright acoustic pianos, 1 clavinova and 3 keyboards. I also have a wide variety of rhythm instruments, fun games and books to facilitate different methods of teaching music.
