Brooklyn has been singing since before she could walk! As a child, she studied both voice and piano privately for over 10 years. While in high school at The Bishop Strachan School in Toronto, she was very active musically – not only did she sing in the choir, folk group and jazz ensemble but she also casted and directed two of her high school’s musicals (including Little Shop of Horrors and Fiddler on the Roof). She was also a part of the Toronto Children’s Chorus for seven years. Brooklyn studied her undergraduate degree at the University of Guelph where she received her Bachelor of Arts with an Honors in Music. Her studies took her abroad for half a year to England where she studied at the University of Birmingham’s school of music. Brooklyn then went on to study music therapy at Concordia University in Montreal where she received a graduate diploma and Master’s degree in music therapy. Brooklyn has had her own little business in the past teaching children piano, voice and singing. Although Brooklyn has been classically trained in music, singing in many different languages, she is also familiar and comfortable singing other tunes. She likes to sing pop, folk and indie-rock style music on her own or when performing at open mics. Some of her favourite artists include Adele, Lennon Stella, Ed Sheeran and Sia. She loves the energy that children bring to music, and knows how important it is to start learning and being involved in music from a young age. Music in all its forms has been a gift for Brooklyn in her life and she would love to share that gift with you.
