Nancy is a classically-trained pianist with an ARCT Diploma in Piano Performance. Nancy has taught music to students of all ages and abilities. She is passionate about facilitating community music experiences and has developed numerous goal-based group music programs for camps and music school.
Nancy’s goal is for all her students to feel comfortable applying their musical abilities in ways that are relevant to them – whether it is to prepare and excel at their RCM exams, to learn to play a piece that is meaningful for them, or to learn to sing and accompany themselves. Each lesson will be individualized to the student’s learning needs and will include 4 major components: technical skill building, learning and reviewing repertoire, ear training, and basic theory & keyboard harmony.
Nancy welcomes the opportunity for musical collaboration and looks forward to accompanying all prospective students on their journey to becoming creative and passionate musicians!

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.
