As a Music for Young Children graduate myself, I know firsthand that MYC is THE BEST way to introduce and foster a love of music in young children. The program introduces music in a way that allows its students to not only grow musical skills, but also academic skills, social skills, and confidence.  I am thrilled to have the opportunity to teach the program that I fell in love with as a child. I went on to complete my grade 10 RCM in piano with honours. Many years ago, I had the opportunity to teach MYC in another teacher's studio. I loved the experience, but then moved on to a degree and a career as an accredited music therapist (MTA). As a music therapist, for 12 years I had the opportunity to work with individuals of all ages and abilities, using music as a tool to reach non-musical goals (such as improving speech and language skills, maintaining memory, improving attention to task, or improving mood). I gained many musical skills (including voice and guitar), and had the opportunity to lead groups of all sizes, develop treatment plans, lead summer camps, supervise interns, and use music to connect. In returning to Music for Young Children as a mom of 3, I am fortunate to be able to teach from my home studio.  

My studio is in Riverbend, SE Calgary, next to Carburn Park.
