VOICE LESSONS: Students are offered the opportunity to perform at Senior's Homes, in the St. Thomas Music Festival, and at the Spring Family and Friends Recital. RCM examinations are offered, as well as preparation for university studies.

Joanne has also had exceptional results with "tone deaf" monotone singers who have all been able to learn to successfully sing in tune.

PIANO LESSONS: Various styles of piano lesson styles are available, from the graded Royal Conservatory Program, to lessons using the popular ipad app, Piano Maestro. Festival preparation and performances are also an option for interested students, as well as non-competitive, student-led musical learning. Joanne also offers the Accelerated Piano Lab which is a unique, modern approach to learning, which has produced exceptional results!

GUITAR/UKULELE: Joanne especially enjoys teaching ukelele and guitar to young beginners. Notes, tabs, chords, picking and strumming, as well as theory and playing by ear are taught.
