About Me

A Canadian harpist passionate about what I do. I started the harp at 9 years old with a wonderful teacher who, by coincidence, was in the lineage of a world-renowned harpist woul would become my harp teacher much later.

During my time at university, I had the chance to play with many orchestras and varied ensembles. What encompasses my many years is the passion to make the connection with someone by doing or teaching music. Music transcends all barriers.

After graduating from my Master's, I've had many opportunities to teach harp during the past 11 years to all ages and levels, and I have discovered many important and very real things about pedagogy.

I aspire to make this connection with all my students, so that they may feel the same joy of learning that I had.

Noah

Hello!

My name is Noah, I am bilingual (mastering English as my mother tongue) and I would like to share my taste for this language through subjects that may interest the student. Very pedagogue, I know how to adapt to any type of profile, teaching through culture in order to learn with pleasure.
I exclusively accompany children and young adults who already have a base, but who want to improve their oral and written expression. I love to teach and transmit, and know how to adapt to the needs of the student. I am available on weekends for specific needs or for a personalized follow-up.
