VOICE

Shayla’s musical journey began at an early age. Kindermusik is where it all began! Her first instrument was the piano, and it wasn’t until high school that she found her love of singing. She graduated from the University of Manitoba with her Bachelor of Music in Music Education in 2022. Shayla is a member of The Winnipeg Singers (alto) and has performed with Manitoba Opera as a Chorus member. She is looking forward to future musical endeavors, and is excited to continue her musical journey teaching students at MCMA!

How are your lessons unique?

I want lessons to be fun for students! Feedback is extremely important, as I want to ensure that students are enjoying their learning experience. Learning is an ongoing process, which means that I am continuously learning as well. I am always willing to adapt and change my teaching to suit the needs of each student.

My favourite part of teaching is seeing the look of joy on students faces as they engage with music. Being apart of an individual’s musical journey is so special!
