About	I have played piano since I was 7, completed my grade 9 Royal Conservatory of Music as a teenager and then took a lengthy break from playing due to the limitations of my traditional piano background. I was thrilled to discover Simply Music in 2011 and decided to become a teacher as I wanted something more for my children who had already started traditional lessons. I absolutely love this program for ages 5 – 95, which enables me to share the journey of music with my students through this amazing ‘playing-based method’. I care deeply about my piano family and am continually expanding my own skills as a pianist and a teacher to deliver a program that is joyful and fun. I love playing more than ever and rarely miss a day playing the piano! It is a privilege to see beginners of all ages get excited to come to lessons, to play, and to create their own music. I teach primarily online lessons from my home studio Tuesday through Thursday. Call or message me for a free introductory session and find out how fun it is to learn piano the Simply Music way!
