A classical guitarist for most of her life, Tina found her passion for music extended to the ukulele...and the rest is history. 

She has studied with a variety of classical guitarists within BC (Canada), including Capilano University 

and the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

Tina is a life-long music lover and community music advocate; for over 25 years she has been helping others enjoy their own musical journey. Using a light-hearted and gentle teaching style, Tina helps people to learn at their comfort level and with confidence. 

Music brings people together and helps to form a sense of community. Playing an instrument can help you feel better, reduce stress and make you feel more at peace. Tina encourages her students to express themselves through their music. Play with passion...perfection can wait

With an extensive background in classical guitar, Tina shares her unique perspectives about music with her students in her workshops and classes. Classical music, blues, folk, and more... She enjoys playing it all on her ukulele and guitar.

Tina offers private and group lessons as well as workshops. Her lessons are available in person and online.

You can find Tina in Kamloops where she lives with her husband, children, and their music-loving cat and dog. 

I didn't understand how to make my own chord melodies, then Tina explained it and it was a light-bulb moment for me! Now I get it, and I am making my own chord melodies!

Tina makes sure that we really understand what she is saying. I leave feeling like I can play better.

You're my favourite music teacher. Do you know why? It's because you like to try different things in music and experiment. (that was from a Gr 4 student at a summer camp)

You play with such feeling and beautiful phrasing. And it's so nice to hear your original compositions!

I really like how you show us simple ways to improve our playing. In between all of the laughs you don't realise how much you have learned!
