Online Lessons:

Teaching Day(s): Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Veronica Klock’s students play to learn, to learn to play! Classroom activities get students moving to help them understand not only what music is, but how it feels and how it works, so they can learn to create their own musical ideas from their very first lessons. Healthy playing techniques learned in this way help students protect against repetitive strain injury while allowing them to draw the most exquisite tone possible from the instrument. She encourages group learning opportunities to experience the joy of playing together while building ensemble skills that serve musicians not only in their musical journeys, but in their day-to-day lives as well. Veronica began playing at age three, performing at age four, and teaching at age 18. Having studied with Dr. Harald Zabrack, Dr. Terence Dawson, Dr. Dale Reubart, and Helen Silvester, Veronica completed her A.R.C.T. in 1994 and graduated from UBC in 1998. She enjoys a vibrant career performing with the Strathcona Symphony Orchestra and in small ensembles; accompanying soloists; teaching; and composing; and has accompanied choirs as far away as the Grotto in Portland, OR and Disneyland, CA. Veronica teaches all ages and all levels. Her rate is $30 per half hour.
