Bachelor of Music (UVic)
Jamie is a well rounded musician and a patient teacher who enjoys working with students of all ages and experiences. Her musical journey began at the age of five when her parents introduced her to the piano. She was immediately drawn to music, and at the age of nine, started taking piano lessons with a focus on pop music. In the sixth grade, Jamie picked up the flute to join the school band and found a new appreciation of music in band and orchestral instruments.
In 2012, Jamie began teaching private lessons with a focus on teaching piano. Jamie tailors her lessons to each student's specific interests and goals to keep them motivated and excited to continue learning and playing. She particularly enjoys working with beginners who are just starting music - whether they are 6 or 60 - and enjoys working with multiple genres of music, including pop, jazz, and classical. She believes that music is for everyone, whether you hope to pursue music professionally or want to learn for fun.
Jamie completed her Bachelor of Music at the University of Victoria where she played as principal flautist and piccolo in numerous ensembles. Throughout her degree, Jamie continued teaching private lessons and playing piano, and has experience accompanying her woodwinds students. She is currently learning how to play the cello for her enjoyment and to continue her musical growth journey.
