School year (September - June) Taught by our amazing teacher Heather!
Heather Grafe is a seasoned educator with a few University degrees (BSM, BFA and BEd) and a hard-earned certificate (ARCT, Piano Performance). She has enjoyed teaching French, English and Elementary Music in classrooms from Toronto and Calgary to Nairobi and Mombasa, Kenya. As both an Elementary Music classroom teacher and an experienced studio piano teacher, she draws on the wisdom of various music pedagogies such as Keyfest, Music for Young Children, Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze, and Montessori to provide a balanced and rich music curriculum. She believes that discovering and learning music should be a joy-filled journey!
Summer (July and August) Taught by our amazing teacher Alex!
Alexander has been teaching guitar since 2017. He holds a master’s degree in Classical Guitar Performance and has performed widely as both a soloist and chamber musician in South Africa and Canada.
He’s committed to meeting students where they’re at and supporting their growth in a way that feels relevant and meaningful. Alexander teaches a range of styles and adapts his approach to each student’s needs and interests.
