The Teacher
Kim Brown has enjoyed music in general since she was a child. She began her studies in piano, but, with a number of different instruments at home, and dedicated teachers in elementary and high school, she had the opportunity to explore many different areas of music.
After experiences performing on bassoon, clarinet and singing, she finally settled on the saxophone. She studied privately under the direction of Daniel Rubinoff and Peter Freeman, and received her Bachelor of Music from Queen's University.
Following her musical studies, she attended Nipissing University where she received her Bachelor and Masters of Education. Through many music education courses, and personal interest, she also became proficient on the clarinet, flute, trumpet, guitar, and bass.
Since graduating, she has gained a wealth of experience teaching and coaching throughout the Ottawa area. In addition to working in schools, both public and private, in many different age groups, she is a certified coach in curling and has developed and taught beginner leagues throughout Ottawa.
Kim currently teaches band and music theatre to 9-14 year-olds at a west-Ottawa private elementary school, and teaches one-on-one sax, clarinet, flute, trumpet and piano lessons at a studio in Barrhaven. Having recently moving to Kemptville, she is excited to take on students in her newly designed home studio.
