Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Trinity Western University
Imagine your child sitting confidently at any piano playing beautiful music they’ve learned or even composed themselves.
Welcome! I'm Teacher Michelle and I absolutely LOVE sharing the joy of making music. 💛
It's my desire to nurture confidence, creativity and community through innovative piano lessons and music classes.
My focus is on growing happy, creative, well-educated musicians and making the experience of learning joyful, magical and easy as possible!
I want learners to feel important and find new avenues with which to express themselves while experiencing the magic of making music with others.
My Background: From the moment I taught my first Early Childhood Music Class in 1998, I knew teaching was my calling and I have never looked back. In 2001, I started my own music studio and have been teaching preschool music classes, group piano lessons, private piano lessons and even ukulele classes!
My Education: I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music and am a Music for Young Children Certified Teacher as well as an Advanced Piano Specialist with the Royal Conservatory of Music. I am also a Pro Certified Online Teacher with Teach Music Online.
When I'm not teaching you'll find me baking, running with my dogs, spending time with my family or cooking up more creative and fun ideas for teaching.
