current updates

During the height of Covid-19, we were able to work through Zoom and to develop ways to teach in-studio safely, with distancing for piano, cello and theory lessons, hand washing, and air flow through the studio. As we continue into September 2022 we are waiting to see how things progress as health advice is updated. I'm fully vaccinated and have had my booster shots. 

Keep in mind that online lessons will always be an option for you, and these new online skills we've learned will make it much easier when you or your child has a cold, or it's a snow day, or a car giving trouble. 

And, kids who are too sick for school are also too sick for music lessons - so online it is, if they're up to it!  I'll be using my Zoom meeting number 511-965-0781: enter it, and you'll be in the Waiting Room. I'll join as soon as I can: if the previous student is in-studio, I may be a moment or two late because of changing formats and opening Zoom. I've sent the password to you by email. Text me if you forgot!         

Fees are payable 

• in full;
• in ten monthly cheques (postdated till June 1)
• by pre-authorised direct monthly payments

For specific amounts, please see the Lessons tab.

Now available in studio or online Thursdays (Sylvan United Church) and Fridays (this studio), with my daughter Eve Daniell, who is living here during Covid away from her performance career in the UK. Let me know if you're interested and I'll put you in touch -
