I’m Sue Crowe Connolly and I’ve been teaching voice for about 14 years, focussing mainly on vocal function, i.e. how the voice works, so that we can sing or speak with freedom and ease. I LOVE to guide people into their own, authentic voices, whether they are new vocalists or experienced singers in need of retraining. I also coach singers, public speakers and other vocal teachers. I learned to teach voice by apprenticing for seven years and have experience in communication skills and group development. I teach adults and youth, and have studios in Hamilton and Toronto. Please see my website for testimonials and contact info.

Students at the Joy Piano Studio receive meticulous training in the fundamentals — scales, arpeggios, sight reading, ear training and basic theory — and are guided mainly through the classical repertoire. Students are taught to produce sound using the whole body rather than the fingers alone, with a natural position of the hand. Analysis and visualization skills are taught to secure memory and increase confidence in performance. The fundamentals of deep (deliberate) practice are most emphasized and meticulously worked out in class. Limited openings, young beginners (age four and up) welcome.

Teaching has been a passion of mine for over 20 years. I graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Music and from Syracuse University with a Master of Music. I love working with both children and adults in a vibrant and inspirational way. I have coached music string teachers working in the school system and have conducted adult chamber orchestras and school orchestras at Martingrove Collegiate Institute and at Earl Haig Secondary School. In addition, I work as a professional orchestral musician. If you live in the north part of the city and want to have fun in a relaxed but disciplined setting, please contact me!

Japanese Koto and Shamisen Music
Toronto; online (outside the GTA)

I’m often asked, “How did you come to koto and shamisen music?” Believe it or not, it was from eating Japanese food! The music in the background somehow made its way into my psyche (and my heart) and my life changed forever. Teaching since 1987, I enjoy watching people grow to love traditional and contemporary Japanese music as much as I do. Whether you want diploma path or are just learning for pleasure, all levels and all ages (from ten years old upward) are welcome. I offer private lessons in my studio as well as online classes (outside GTA only). Group lessons are available by special arrangement. You can start any time — no musical or Japanese language experience needed!

In the Parker household, talk of quitting piano wasn’t casual dinner-time conversation. It meant a SUMMIT MEETING in the LIVING ROOM. Liz graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music at 15 with a Gold Medal for the top mark in Canada and she holds her Licentiate from England’s Trinity College of London and her Bachelor of Music from the University of British Columbia.

Teaching since 1985, Liz loves working with kids to achieve great marks in the RCM exams. She combines a sense of fun and instilling discipline for maximum results. No slouching or flat fingers! To compensate, treats are handed out after student recitals. She teaches in the Queen/Bathurst area, meaning coffee/shopping options nearby for parents to while away the lesson time.
