Grace enjoys a wide range of music such as musical theatre, jazz, classical, folk and pop. She loves to teach and inspire others and never stops learning from her students.

Danielle began studying piano and voice at age 8, and later minored in Music at Mount Royal University. She holds a Level 5 RCM certification in piano and taught piano, voice, and musical theatre with Storybook Theatre for over 5 years. She has also worked with the Further Education Society of Alberta, leading both Music for Early Literacy and Parent-Child Mother Goose programs. In addition, she directed a glee club with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary for many years.
Her teaching approach focuses on building strong foundational skills while supporting each student’s individual interests. Danielle has a particular love for both musical theatre and “Sad Girl Pop,” and really enjoys helping students connect to the music they love.
Outside of teaching and running a boutique marketing studio, she spends her time with her husband, son, and her very lazy (but very lovable) Rottweiler, Tony.
We offer 30 minute, 45 minute and 60 minute classes but can also offer custom class lengths to meet the needs of your centre.
We can also offer multiple classes back-to-back to accommodate larger groups or different age groups.
Yes, you can start with four trial classes. These would be charged at the quoted rate but we will follow-up to ensure you were satisfied with the classes and wait to schedule full sessions until trials are completed.
Signing up for our classes is easy! Simply fill out the form below with your full name, email address, and phone number. We will reach out to answer any questions you have and get you registered
