Private Music Lessons
The regular private music lesson year for 38 weeks from September to June. Regular lessons run from September through June, but summer lessons are also available as needed. For ease of billing, our clients are billed for the number of lessons included from their start date through to the end of the school year. I am happy to break the tuition into equal monthly payments (1st of each month) with post-dated cheques or pre-authorized withdrawal from a credit card. I also offer a family discount of 10% off each tuition after the first tuition. All private music lesson students have the opportunity to perform in the end of year recital and to prepare for exams or participation in the Barrie Music Festival.

Piano Lessons
Piano lessons are available for ages 5 through adult. The one-on-one sessions are tailored to meet each student’s learning style and age. Students learn theory and technique through a wide variety of styles to help keep up their motivation. I am happy to prepare our students for Royal Conservatory or Conservatory Canada exams and offer post-secondary preparation as preparation for music festivals. Want to learn for fun without the stress of exams? I offer that too!
Singing Lessons
I offer private singing lessons to students aged 9 through adult. In our lessons we focus on the development of healthy singing technique through correct posture, breathing and tone placement. Lessons are taught using a variety of styles including musical theatre, classical, folk, jazz and some pop. Because so much of singing in public is about the performance, a portion of the class is also spent on performance techniques. I am happy to prepare students for the Barrie Music Festival, Conservatory Exams as well as post-secondary preparation.
Lesson Features
Quality Instruments
At The Melody In Me, we make sure that our students are all working on quality instruments and equipment when they come for their lessons. All piano lessons are taught on a high quality acoustic grand piano and recitals are performed on a grand piano.
Personalized Approach
Each private lesson is tailored to the individual needs of each student, ensuring that the classes move at a pace that suits the student and includes the repertoire that is most motivating for the student to learn.
Communication
I feel it’s important that parents are up to date on their child’s progress in lessons at our studio. I make an effort to speak to each parent between lessons and also send a monthly newsletters.
