Shout out to our amazing sponsors for making of this possible,

It has come to my attention that J.D. Vance thinks that as a childless person, I am somehow less worthy to be a teacher.

To the thousands of children and adults whose minds I may have "brainwashed and destroyed" over the past 40 years, I am profoundly sorry.

For those who feel I still have something to offer as a childless teacher, my Sheridan/University of Toronto roster is full, but I do still have some room in my private studio.

I also work as an actor, a singer, an artistic director, a music director, a multi-instrumentalist, a Royal Conservatory Voice Examiner, a church musician, and as President of the Canadian Music Festival Adjudicator's Association. I regret any inconvenience it causes to those individuals who may find my skills diminished in any way by my childless status in any of these roles.

As you were.

Hello dear people,

Just a note to let you know I am back in town after several months away doing two lovely contracts. It's always nice to go away to do theatre and it is OH SO NICE to be back in the city and in my own home again.

And as much as online coachings get the job done, it is awfully nice to work in person so please feel free to get in touch if you need a tune up. I'm teaching online or in person.

My rates have not changed despite the rest of the world trying to recoup their pandemic losses by jacking up prices on, well, everything. I'd love to see and hear you.

And if you have a credit with me, don't be shy about mentioning that. I would like to get those used up in the next few months, but please don't hesitate to use them, even if they are from before the pandemic.

Message me privately for all the gory lesson details. Feel free to share. And have a wonderful, restful holiday season.

Warmly,

Donna
:)
