Supportive and professional. That sums up Danielle and her staff pretty well. I've been with Danielle for just over a year and a half. She combines tough love with a true caring for her students' success. Her passion for music and teaching is obvious from the moment you meet her.

Danielle is a multi-instrument talented teacher with a fantastic skill set. I'm an older student starting with limited music theory. Her patience and knowledge have guided me to enjoy a long standing personal goal.

Saxophones, Piano & Theory Lessons

Teaching music lessons is my passion, and I love to watch students learn and grow. I discovered my love for music at a young age with the piano and saxophone, and I've spent the past 30 years making music my life’s work. I earned my  Bachelor of Music  in 2003, majoring in classical saxophone performance. I have spent the past 20 years building a career as a performer, clinician, accompanist and private instructor for woodwinds, piano and music theory.  I have recently taken on the role of Coordinator for the KW Kiwanis Music Festival, and am excited to be a part of this long standing tradition of excellence in music education
 
Most of my students come to me as beginners, but I work with intermediate- and advanced-level students as well. I'm happy to work with people of all ages and my students range from young kids to seniors. I believe in holding a high standard of practice and using positive and encouraging methods to help students reach their full potential. Although it is not a requirement, I support my students in doing Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) exams and performing in the Kiwanis Music Festival. Those who participate have achieved high grades and top placements. I also support my students in recital participation – even the shy ones! This is a great way to grow confidence and motivation both in music and in our daily lives. 
 
You will find me active in the Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) area as a performer, and I really enjoy getting involved in all styles of music. You might find me sitting in an orchestra, or getting my groove on with one of my rock bands. Most recently I’ve been playing with The Crazy Diamonds Band, Lofi Mind Folk Collective, the Royal City Sax Quartet and the Wellington Wind Symphony. I've played saxophones, flute and clarinet for many musical theatre productions in KW and Guelph. Some of my recent shows include Suessical the Musical, Shrek the Musical, Grease and The Wizard of Oz.
