My name is Jordan Andriatz. I grew up in Bashaw, AB where I played in the school band. I now live in Camrose and play in the Camrose Community Band. I have played guitar for 20 years, and I took my very first lesson at Martha's Music (now Long & Mcquade, Camrose). I studied music at Augustana and sang in the Augustana choir during that time. After that, I studied in Edmonton to become a teacher. I taught in Ontario for a couple of school years which included teaching band to grades 4-8. I now teach part time at Bashaw School, and look forward to teaching guitar in Camrose.

Kelsey Mackenzie (Voice, Piano)

Online Lessons: No

Teaching Day(s): Tuesday, Wednesday

Kelsey started playing the piano at the tender age of 6 and quickly developed a love for music. She completed her grade 6 RCA Exam and Grade 2 Theory, which she found was “instrumental” when writing new music and working in the recording studio. At age 11, her parents decided it was time for her to receive some professional vocal lessons and at age 12 she began entering competitions, including the Calgary Stampede ‘Youth Talent Showdown’, where she would later be a recipient of the ‘Don Weldon’ Award for ‘Most Promising Performer’. By the time she was 14 she was scouted by a producer and was offered the opportunity to record a single in Nashville. At 17 she was crowned as winner for both the ‘Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame’ national under 18 and over 18 Female Vocalist categories. That same year, she also recorded her first of two solo albums on Music Row in Nashville. Kelsey has also been blessed with many incredible opportunities to share the stage with talented artists such as Brett Kissel, Beverley Mahood, Johnny Reid, Paul Brandt as well as tour with Gil Grand.

After this whirlwind of events, Kelsey took a break from the spotlight to pursue a career in the corporate world. However, after years of climbing the corporate ladder, her love of music tugged her back and she found herself drawn to sharing what she had learned musically and teaching and building up the next generation of musicians. Kelsey has found a true love for sharing her passion for music and inspiring young and old alike in their distinctive musical giftings. She believes every voice is like a fingerprint- a unique gift designed by God for a purpose.
Kelsey's rate is $30 per half hour
