My students become SKILLED musicians, CONFIDENT performers and RESILIENT individuals.
I remember being very shy and having social anxiety throughout elementary school and high school which then led to depression. But the one thing that helped me gain a sense of confidence, self-esteem and hope was... MUSIC.
This is why I love teaching. I provide a fun and nurturing environment where my students (Ages 7+ Beginner Level) not only learn how to sing and play the music they LOVE but they also reap the mental health and therapeutic benefits of music.
So whether you want to become a well-rounded artist who can sing your favourite R&B/Pop jams while playing piano or you simply want to learn how to play the guitar or write your own songs, I am here to help you discover the artist, confidence and resilience in you.
I can't wait to see you shine!

My daughter has been taking lessons with Mary for approximately 6 months now.
We feel so fortunate to have found Mary. My daughter looks forward to her weekly lessons and has not missed one. Mary is so encouraging and instills confidence in her students while ensuring that her lessons are fun. My husband and I were elated when our otherwise reserved 12 year old daughter confidently performed live in front of an audience.
Thank you Mary for believing in her and helping to bring the best of our daughter out.View more recommendations
