Anastasia T. — Singing Teacher — Valois, Pointe-Claire, Pointe-Claire

I emerge from a heritage deeply immersed in academia and music—a family intertwined with professors, educators, and accomplished musicians. Growing up in this nurturing milieu, I ventured into singing, piano, fine art, and dance from the tender age of 4. My academic journey encompasses a Bachelor's degree in Music, specializing in classical voice and piano, and a Master's degree in Art and Design, a testament to my diverse creative passions. My intricate command of Bel Canto techniques blossomed under the guidance of revered mentors at Conservatorio Santa Cecilia di ROMA and Konservatorium Wien University. My pursuit of musical excellence persevered beyond graduation, as I imbibed techniques from Broadway luminaries in New York. Commencing my performance career at 7, I showcased my prowess as a pianist and soprano. By 17, I was already instructing piano, vocals, sight singing, ear training, rhythmic training, and musical theory. My deepest ardor finds solace in the realm of Broadway and the enchanting harmonies of Disney. The nucleus of my artistic endeavors lies in a chamber ensemble, where I stand as the principal soprano. Our collaboration with Taiwan's government has birthed diverse performances spanning classical, ballet, tango, opera, Broadway, and the timeless enchantment of Disney. Beyond the stage, I passionately engage in musical productions, adorning the roles of both a seasoned actress and a mentor, guiding fellow performers in honing their musical acumen.

◆Vocal Lessons◆ My approach to teaching draws from a rich tapestry of influences, encompassing Italian bel canto, Vienna vocal techniques, Broadway singing proficiency, jazz and soul stylings, and popular music sensibilities, all tailored to the unique needs of each student. I foster learning through creative thinking, an understanding of vocal anatomy, and the incorporation of body movements and gestures, all personalized to optimize progress and effectively master the techniques required at any given moment. ◆Piano Lessons◆ I offer comprehensive piano instruction that delves into both technical and artistic dimensions. My aim is to empower students with the essential skills to independently read and interpret music while finding joy in their journey of musical growth. Through my guidance, students can refine their piano playing and enhance their interpretations, creating a fulfilling and enriching experience.
