Teaching philosophy

"As an educator, I wish to promote passion, inspire learning and instill belief in students of all ages, levels, abilities and musical interests.

I strive to create a safe, inclusive and fun environment for students to explore the world of music, express their unique selves, try new things and step outside their comfort zones.

Lessons are oriented around the student’s personal goals and repertoire will be chosen according to their interests and level. Teaching is a passion of mine and I look forward to joining students on their musical journeys!"

- Amanda MacDonald
