Learning Music is Fun!

I strive to guide students in becoming well-rounded musicians that develop a love for music that lasts a lifetime. I believe that anyone can learn to play an instrument, no matter their age or intent. I strive to bring out each student’s musical imagination and encourage creativity and self-expression through music. I believe that music should always be fun and I seek to show my students how fun music can be through play-based music lessons.

Chantal Beaulieu

I have been playing piano since age 8 and trumpet and violin since age 13. In 2014, I graduated from Laurentian University with a BA(Hons) in Music studying trumpet performance and music history. I furthered my education at the University of Ottawa, completing an MA in Music (Musicology) with a specialization in Gender Studies in 2019. I currently play trumpet in the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra, the Northern Brass Choir, Nickel City Wind Ensemble and the Whispering River Orchestra (https://www.whisperingrivermusic.com/). You can find me listed on the Sudbury Symphony website: https://sudburysymphony.com/meet-the-orchestra/.

I specialize in preparing students for piano and trumpet RCM examinations. I am an RCM Certified Teacher and can be found on the RCM website: https://www.rcmusic.com/find-a-teacher?place=ChIJ7TLxxjb_Lk0R-Iych7jVjWY&fullName=&disciplines=Trumpet&id=608644&uid=608644_46487-809971. I have also taken both the Teaching Elementary Piano course and the Teaching Intermediate Piano course online through the Royal Conservatory.

I am versed in a vast array of methods for the instruments I teach. One of my hobbies is collecting method books. I enjoy exploring various methods to find the right method that works for you and/or your child. I also specializes in teaching the Wunderkeys method for ages 2+.

I have over ten years of experience and teaches a wide range of ages: from beginners to advanced: ages 2+. I am able to accommodate and meet the needs and learning style of each unique individual that I teach.
