Welcome

I have been teaching both contemporary and classical Voice and Piano for over 10 years.   

As a music  teacher, I strive to build a solid foundation of skills and techniques,  that students can then use to improve and enhance their musical  abilities, while providing a fun and positive atmosphere! 

I have been teaching in the community both privately as well in the school system for over twenty years.  I graduated from the Music Diploma Program at Red Deer College. I hold two degrees; one in music and one in education.   

I enjoy composing, recording & performing. I am even a part of the chorus for Calgary Opera. 

I began learning violin at the age of four and studied the Suzuki Method. As well, I have performed with the EYO for over 6 years. Currently, I am working towards my ARCT teacher certification. Whether you prefer classical, fiddle, contemporary, or jazz, I offer lessons tailored to each student’s goals and interests.

Music has been a part of my life since the early days.  I got to learn and experience multiple instruments including bass, percussion and synths control at a young age. I also developed a taste for music production. From adults to beginners, it is never too late to pick up an instrument and make some NOISE. 

Josh Rickard, is a guitarist, award winning film composer, and music educator with over 30 years of performing and teaching experience. Josh is well versed in multiple genres of music, and most contemporary forms of guitar playing. He is also able to teach songwriting, theory, composition, and arrangement. 

Music has been a part of my life since the age of 5 when I started to learn to play the guitar. I began teaching at age 14 and continue to this day (50 years later). I obtained my Masters in Music Education in 2012, and I look forward to teaching the art of music to those who choose to learn an instrument!
