The Passion Behind the Teacher

A little about the journey

Music is an evolutional journey. What started as something personal has grown into pedagogical theories shaped by countless hours of teaching, composing, education and experience. Every year reflects new growth. Sherryl is an Ottawa native who is a highly skilled and sought after traditional fiddle teacher and piano accompanist. This prolific composer and recording artist combines traditional Quebecois, Celtic, Classical and Old time music, giving her students a solid musical foundation. With 41 years of teaching experience, she develops a specialized program for each individual and develops a long lasting, positive relationship with each student.
