ABOUT NADIA
Owner of Melodic Moments
A lifelong musician and dedicated educator, this instructor began violin lessons at the age of three, followed by piano and music theory studies at age six. Early musical training focused primarily on classical performance through the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM), accompanied by participation in numerous competitive music festivals.
In addition to classical studies, extensive experience in Celtic and fiddle music developed through participation in fiddle camps across Alberta and membership in a performing fiddle ensemble for several years. This ensemble performed regularly at festivals, concerts, and community events, and participated in studio recording projects supporting charitable initiatives.
Teaching music began in 2009 through private studio instruction and expanded to include experience at several established music schools. A commitment to continued musical and pedagogical growth led to the completion of a Bachelor of Music degree with Honours and Distinction in 2014.
As both a musician and educator, involvement in choral and instrumental performance has remained an important part of life. Performance experience includes singing soprano in multiple choirs and participating in musical events across Canada, ranging from festivals and community celebrations to private functions and collaborative performances. Additional experience includes accompanying students in their Royal Conservatory of Music examinations, reflecting both versatility and a strong commitment to student success.
In recent years, musical study has expanded to include the cello. Through continued dedication to learning, practical application, and engagement with the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) curriculum, cello teaching has become a valuable addition to studio offerings, particularly for beginner students. This ongoing study has further strengthened both instrumental versatility and overall teaching expertise.
Music has been a huge part of her life and continues to be as she has the opportunity to share it with others, through teaching and performing. She really enjoys working with people of all ages, and has a gentle approach that brings great results.
Her favorite quote about music is by Victor Hugo and reads as follows: “Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”
