piano | violin | theory
I started music lessons when I was 4 years old, in a local Kindermusik class. At age 6 I started piano lessons and studied a wide variety of musical genres through the Conservatory Canada Program. I’m currently working on my Conservatory Canada Contemporary Idoms Grade 10 piano. I also studied music theory and am currently working through Royal Conservatory Level 9 History & Harmony. When I was 8 years old I started taking violin lessons as well. I learned classical music through the Royal Conservatory Program and finished my Level 6 exam. I’ve been teaching since 2016 and am accepting students from beginner to Level 8.
I’ve also been performing music since the age of 10 in various orchestras and ensembles, and play both sacred and secular music for a variety of audiences. I’m currently the worship leader at West Calgary Full Gospel Church. I also perform as a soloist for receptions and weddings with both instruments.
